What does the Angelman Syndrome Foundation do?
The Angelman Syndrome Foundation is a national 501(c)(3) organization of families, caregivers and medical professionals who care about those with Angelman Syndrome. Our mission is to advance the awareness and treatment of Angelman Syndrome through education and information, research, and support for individuals with Angelman Syndrome, their families, and other concerned parties.
For more than 20 years, the ASF has been a leading resource for AS information, support and AS research funding. Education and information from ASF is available through numerous materials and resources including: a newsletter, web site, biennial conference, annual scientific symposia, phone support, local contacts, professional references, mentorship program and the newly launched Angelman Treatment & Research Institute (ATRI). These resources cover current research being conducted, therapies for patients and long-term care and financial planning issues. Since 1996 the ASF has funded 59 research grants totaling over $3.6 million. The ASF has awarded a majority of these funds ($3.3 million) beginning in 2005. Most aggressive funding of research is aimed at finding therapies and treatments for curing certain AS symptoms.
