International Angelman Day (IAD) is an opportunity to raise awareness of Angelman syndrome on a global scale! Two AS parents started IAD in 2013 and engaged 31 Angelman syndrome organizations from around the world to join their efforts. Today, IAD has grown to over 50 AS organizations participating worldwide!
February 15th is significant because February is Rare Disease Month and the 15th refers to the 15th chromosome, which is the chromosome impacted by Angelman syndrome.
