In 2002, PWSA of WI, Inc. celebrated
10 years of
reaching out to provide support, education and advocacy to persons with Prader-Willi syndrome and their loved ones across the State of Wisconsin.
-
Every year scholarships
are awarded to campers who
have PWS so that they can attend summer camp. Assistance is provided
to those in need.
-
Each spring a social event and training is sponsored
by PWSA of WI, Inc. for persons with this disability, their siblings,
and those who support them. More than 50 people who have Prader-Willi
syndrome attend. This is a time for making new friends, rekindling old
friendships, sharing and having a great time. The unique nutritional
and behavioral needs of the participants are specifically addressed.
-
Once a year, a
training workshop or some other educational
project is conducted that helps those who work with children and adults
with PWS gain a better understanding of their needs and how to make
the lives of those with Prader-Willi syndrome more successful.
-
Every day, information and support is provided to callers
and others who seek help. Brochures and other printed material are shared
at no cost. We have two program areas with two part time employees.
We have established a toll free phone number to make it easier for all
to receive information and support.
-
When requested, onsite training and consultations
are conducted. In 2001, we participated in 11 team meetings, 7 individual
trainings and 3 larger group trainings. We traveled to 10 different
communities across the State of Wisconsin – supporting people
with Prader-Willi syndrome as well as those who support them.
