That Defining Moment

Broadly focusing on the diagnosis and early planning aspects of Smith-Magenis syndrome, this film shows a number of different families that have children, adults or siblings with SMS answering the following questions:

  • What age is the person you care for with SMS?
  • What age were they diagnosed and what was the indicator?
  • What education setting or living setting does your SMS child/adult have?

Sweet Dreams & Survival – A Video about SMS Sleep

Sweet Dreams & Survival is a video about the sleep difficulties associated with Smith-Magenis syndrome, and in this film we ask a number of different families the following questions:

  • Describe their bedroom or night time routine
  • Do you receive much support for respite in your area?
  • What kind of medication do they take?

Sunlight and Nightshade

Sunlight and Nightshade is a video that focuses on the personalities of our SMS population. We asked the following questions:

  • Tell me the best two things about living with or caring for someone with SMS
  • Tell me the two most challenging things about living or caring for someone with SMS

Bright Stars Shining a Light

Bright Stars Shining a Light is a video focuses on every-day-living with or caring for someone that has Smith-Magenis syndrome. We asked the following questions:

  • What do they like to do for fun?
  • Describe your child in three words
