victorious in the battle against administrative work related to Angelman Syndrome
In a world where digital files are becoming increasingly common, the importance of managing paperwork for individuals with Angelman Syndrome (AS) is still paramount. This is particularly evident in the case of 12-year-old Juliana, who has been living with AS.
Juliana, along with her mother, has developed an organized system for managing her documents. This system, which includes a dedicated file drawer, has made applying for services easier and has brought relief to Juliana's mother. The files contain evaluations, individualized education programs (IEPs), and progress reports, all essential for raising a child with AS.
However, the process of maintaining this paperwork is not without its challenges. Juliana's mother considered digitizing the paperwork, but she found the process time-consuming. Despite this, she persevered, ensuring that Juliana's paperwork was always accessible when needed.
Last summer, Juliana's documents from her early intervention program were purged. This loss of essential papers could have caused complications, but thanks to her well-organized system, Juliana was able to continue accessing the necessary documents.
The Angelman Syndrome Foundation, a charitable organisation that provides support and equipment to families living with AS each year, played a significant role in Juliana's life. Juliana received an iPad from the Foundation, which serves as her augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device. The Foundation's resources have been invaluable in helping Juliana and her family navigate the challenges of AS.
Marta Figueiredo, PhD, has also made strides in the field of AS research. She has developed a low-cost test for screening Chromosome 15 disorders, including AS. This test could potentially make the process of diagnosing and supporting individuals with AS more efficient in the future.
As Juliana prepares for middle school, the files from when she first started school will soon be purged. This underscores the importance of maintaining an organized system for managing paperwork, as it ensures that essential documents are not lost.
