bulletThe association evolved from a parent support group in Vancouver, B.C. in 1984. It exists to provide support and assistance to families with a child affected by Williams Syndrome, a network and "family" for adults with Williams syndrome and to actively support research into educational, behavioural, social and medical aspects of the syndrome. The association's other goals are to locate those families with an individual with Ws who are unaware of the association and to become a visible group in the medical, scientific, educational and professional communities in order to facilitate referrals for these newly diagnosed individuals. These combined goals will improve methods of social integration and education of individuals with Ws.
