Individuals with Angelman syndrome usually have near normal life spans and good health. While Angelman syndrome children usually deal with issues such as hyperactivity, attention deficits in school and poor eating and sleeping patterns, many of these issues lessen with age. Usually adults with Angelman syndrome are not capable of living independently but many learn to perform basic household tasks and live successfully in adult group homes. Some can take jobs with direct supervision.

Those with Angelman syndrome will have severe developmental delays but with early diagnosis and quality intervention and therapy it is possible to improve their quality of life. There are several clinical studies underway to study the effects of vitamin supplements on the symptoms of Angelman Syndrome.
