Our Mission
|
| |
|
IPWSO is politically neutral, with no discrimination as to race, sex or religion. It supports member associations in their efforts to:
|
|
|
|
|
Improve the quality of life for all people with Prader-Willi syndrome and their families. |
|
|
Improve the physical and mental well-being, socially as well as occupationally, of all people with Prader-Willi syndrome, so that they may, according to their wishes, lead a life as normal as possible and be in a position to achieve their full potential as allowed by the constitution of their country, and what is set out in the Declaration of the United Nations on the Rights of Man and of Handicapped Persons. |
|
|
| IPWSO shall endeavor to co-operate and/or affiliate itself with other organizations with similar objectives. |
| |
| IPWSO shall also act as a liaison to collate and disseminate PWS material for its members by organizing international conferences and by publishing newsletters. By so doing it aims to: |
| |
|
|
Stimulate international co-operation on PWS research projects on the origins, management and prevention of the Prader-Willi syndrome. |
|
|
Encourage national associations to exchange and share their PWS projects and experiences. |
|
|
Foster the foundation and development of new national PWS Associations. |
|
|
Encourage the international exchange of people with PWS and of those involved with their care.
