About
Angelman Today is made possible by article contributors from parents that share their stories and businesses that have created products and services that help support Angelman families.
Editor in Chief and Publisher – Lizzie Sordia was born and raised in California. She married her high school sweetheart and moved to Florida, where they now live with their two boys Braden and Nathan. Nathan was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome shortly after his second birthday. After battling many seizures Lizzie decided it was best to leave her career in corporate America and end her privately owned family publication to care for her son. She has become very involved in the Angelman community by hosting the annual Angelman Walk for the Angelman Syndrome Foundation in Orlando, FL immediately after Nathan’s diagnosis.
Today, Nathan is a much happier and healthier boy, making improvements every day. She believes her son is not his diagnosis, he is so much more. Angelman Syndrome will not define Nathan or his future abilities. He will develop his abilities with the continued love and support from his family and therapists. From the age of 3, shortly after Nathan’s diagnosis, Lizzie started making adjustments to his diet. Multiple medications had failed to control his seizures or help with sleep. After 30 days the results of dietary therapy were proving to be effective. She continued down that path of testing, supplementation and dietary intervention. Today Nathan is seizure-free, no longer has constipation, no longer has acid reflux, can run, say “Mama”, and sleeps ALL night! It is Lizzie’s goal to create an easily accessible global Angelman community because she believes we can all learn from each other and encourage one another on this journey.
