10. Treatment
There is no known cure for Angelman syndrome yet. However, some people believe it is one of the more likely genetic disorders to be cured at some point. For now, at least, treatment focuses on the patient’s symptoms to make life easier for the patient and for the people caring for them.
Therapy can be very useful in helping to enhance the patient’s attention span and become less hyperactive. Therapy may also help them with physical movements, and can also help them to communicate with other people. Medication may be prescribed to help with sleeping disorders and to help prevent seizures.
