Millie's school journey highlights her unique challenges

Millie, a young girl with Angelman syndrome, recently started school, which is a significant milestone for her family. Unlike typical school beginnings, Millie's experience involved careful support as she navigated her new environment, highlighting her unique challenges. Angelman syndrome affects motor skills and communication, making it difficult for Millie to express her needs. While she often laughs, this can sometimes indicate discomfort rather than joy, adding to her mother's concerns about how others perceive her. Millie has made progress, learning to walk unassisted for short distances and enjoying activities like jumping on a trampoline. Her mother emphasizes that Millie's journey is defined by her capabilities, not limitations, and hopes others recognize her achievements.
