These are just a few comments that have been shared with the staff of PWSA of WI, Inc. We are reminded again that we are making a difference in the lives of children and adults with Prader-Willi syndrome. The support and help we provide persons with this disability as well as those who support them … is of great value.
- 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 as well as those who support them. Over 50 persons with 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 are specifically addressed.
- Annually 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.
- Everyday 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.
