Welcome to this site for our child who has Angelman's Syndrome.

Have you come to this website because you have recently had a child diagnosed with Angelman's Syndrome or do you know someone else who has?

At this the start of 2012 it is worth noting that there are other  cases of children  and young adults with Angleman Syndrome in Ireland,  so if you are new to all of this rest assured there are other families in the same boat. Even in the last two years the science and testing has advanced so that is why it appears there are more cases coming to light. I think there are also more cases of variations which maybe in the past would not have been put down to being Angelmans or any other syndrome.

There is also a national charity for Angelman Syndrome in Ireland -www.angelman.ie See more on links page

Our daughter, Boo, is five almost six (2012) and was diagnosed with Angelman's Syndrome UPD  the day before her second birthday. We live in Dublin, Ireland and having Boo has introduced us to a whole new world we knew nothing about before. More importantly we have also met other families in Ireland and children going through the same journey and that really helped.

This website is about Boo's journey. We hope her story will encourage you and that this website will help you to get the support and positive encouragement we have experienced.

You are not the only Mum or Dad or Aunty who has that pit in the bottom of your tummy. Yes we are wrecked from lack of sleep and yes its not all happy days but hey its never dull.

Three years  after diagnosis,  Boo is doing brilliantly, getting fantastic speech and physical therapy and  now attending a  special needs school. She is making big progress even if the pace can be a little slow ( and head wrecking)  at times.

Do contact us if we can be of any help or to be put in touch with other families in Ireland.
