Letter From The Editor – 2014 Anniversary Edition

This marks the anniversary of the first edition of Angelman Today and the first magazine dedicated to individuals with Angelman Syndrome, their families, caretakers, and anyone wanting to know more about this genetic condition.

This year has gone by very quickly, but so much progress has been made. We have partnered with many of the Angelman Foundations across the globe to unite in a single resource that makes it easy for families and those interested in Angelman Syndrome to learn about what life is really like, be inspired by what our loved ones can do, find products and services to help them in their daily lives, support those on therapeutic diets and read about the latest AS research.

Today families are busy with work, therapies, IEP meetings, and doing what they can to fundraise for the amazing AS organizations. Angelman Today gives each and every foundation the opportunity to share with parents the great things that money is being used for. We (at Angelman Today) are parents too, so we understand there is not enough time to go to all of the websites and search for information and that is why we bring it to you in this magazine.

I want to say “Thank you” to everyone for your support and well wishes as we celebrate our first year! We look forward to many more!

Warm Wishes,

Lizzie Sordia
