Angelman syndrome is a genetic condition that affects development and communication. ABA can support skill-building — especially communication — alongside the medical and therapy team.
Focusing on communication and skills
Children with Angelman syndrome are often very social but have significant communication challenges and may be minimally verbal. ABA can support functional communication (including AAC), play, and daily-living skills, building on the joyful, social nature many of these children share — while medical care is led by physicians.
Part of a larger team
Angelman syndrome involves complex needs (which can include seizures and movement differences) managed medically. ABA coordinates with the family, physicians, and other therapists. ABA complements, and does not replace, the medical care Angelman syndrome requires. Related: nonverbal autism.
