*****************************
My favorite quote from the 2009 ASF conference-- "An angelman smile is twice as powerful as the average smile." Chris Oliver, Ph.D. made this comment regarding some studies revealing that adult attention/interaction/smiling in response to an Angelman smile lasted approximately 50 seconds as compared to approximately 20 seconds for the typical smile.
*****************************
Even though times are tough, some people have asked if they could contribute to Jake's equipment and therapy fund. Although we would love to give you some jewelry in return and/or a bunch of Jake's sloppy kisses, if you'd simply like to donate to Jake's fund, please click the donate button below. We really do appreciate it. He is so close to walking independently that we try to do as much therapy as we can. Communication will also be a big focus for 2010. Thank you!
