Abstract

Angelman Syndrome (AS) is a genetic disorder caused by a lack of expression of the UBE3A gene on the 15th chromosome. AS exhibits a broad range of difficulties, including speech and communication impairment and no or minimal use of words. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tools are widely used in AS for raising communication skills. We explored (1) the usage of AAC at home, and (2) family support to raise the communication skills of six children with AS.
