Tip of the Week: May is PWS Awareness Month

Prader-Willi Syndrome Awareness Month: In the month of May, we celebrate PWS awareness. May is the time that we remind ourselves of all of the amazing things that make our kids who they are, and we also look at the challenges that can get in the way of them living their best lives. Although there are many challenges associated with PWS, there is also an endless list of positives and strengths. We never want to forget the wonderful qualities that our kids have despite some challenges along the way. Join us each day for a glimpse inside the world of PWS.

Patrice Carroll, Latham Centers’ Director of PWS Services, is world-renowned for her Prader-Willi syndrome expertise. She works with Latham students and residents, their families, and other experts, continuously learning and teaching about PWS best practices.
