South Carolina

The Williams Syndrome Association is organized into 19 regions across the United States. South Carolina is part of the Southeast region. Each region works to provide resource information and social and educational opportunities to its members. Volunteers are standing by in each state within the regions (parents and grandparents who can provide resources and information) to speak with new families or any families needing support. They are joined by many other volunteers who work hard to facilitate gatherings such as picnics, conferences, and fundraisers. 

Below you will find the name(s) and contact email addresses of your state's Family Support Network volunteer(s).

Inclusion statement

The WSA upholds the following positions on inclusion.  We believe that:

  • everyone benefits when individuals with WS are meaningfully included in educational, work, and community settings
  • individuals with WS should receive all necessary supports and services to fully participate in their family lives, communities, and society as a whole
  • high expectations should be the norm, and that individuals with WS and their families should decide how they best learn, work, and enjoy social settings
  • “inclusion” is not one-size-fits-all, and will look different for each family based on each individual’s desires and needs
  • inclusion creates a sense of belonging in society, meaningful relationships, and opportunities to achieve dreams
