Williams Syndrome (WS) affects an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 people in the United States. Families of affected individuals encounter major struggles. Many babies have life-threatening cardiovascular problems. Children with WS need costly and ongoing medical care and early interventions (such as speech, physical and occupational therapy) that may not be covered by insurance or state funding.
