5. Intellectual disability
is an indicative sign that a child has Angelman syndrome. The child is unable to learn at the level of other children. When this happens, the child ends up being placed in a special education class where the child can learn at his or her own level. Children with intellectual disabilities can stay in school until the age of 21.
This gives them the opportunity to get a proper education and receive a high school diploma. Most children know their alphabet and numbers by the time they reach kindergarten, but children with Angelman syndrome are still unable to count and memorize the alphabet. They are unable to read and write as well. If no treatment is given as a child, it can be detrimental for them as an adult. As an adult, he or she may be placed in a group home with other adults dealing with development disabilities.
