International Angelman Day (IAD) is observed on the 15th February to raise awareness worldwide for Angelman Syndrome (AS). The IAD Collective is a global family-driven, family-supported collective. We invite our community to drive this event in your own country, region, and hometown. Because this is such a rare disorder, we need everyone to help us spread the word. We want the whole world to know more about Angelman syndrome!  

 

Angelman Syndrome is  a rare neurogenetic disorder

that affects chromosome 15,

resulting in intellectual and developmental delay.

It affects about 1 in 15,000 people.

 

We celebrate each year on the 15th February in recognition of the 15th chromosome affected, and with February being International Rare Disease month.​

It is also the day after Valentine's Day, so its a good time to spread the love!
