Prisms is a great organization for finding information, parent support, fund raisers, & conferences for Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS). I've been involved with Prisms since Oct. 2000, shortly after our 4th daughter was diagnosed with SMS. Prisms does a wonderful job at putting newly diagnosed families in touch with 'seasoned' families with kids in similar age groups. Prisms also conducts conferences every 2 yrs & with monies raised in fund raisers all over the country, provide several families with 'scholarships' so that they may attend a conference.
