Summary/Abstract: The paper addresses the topic of educational development among pupils diagnosed with a rare genetic disease known as Angelman syndrome. The paper presents the findings of qualitative research in the form of case studies of two pupils with Angelman syndrome. The objective of this paper is to analyse the educational development of pupils with Angelman syndrome, to identify the specific characteristics of their educational process, methods and forms of work with these pupils, and to describe the family and social environment in which they typically live. The findings demonstrate that the educational development of pupils with Angelman syndrome necessitates a meticulous, individualized approach and a multifaceted support system that considers the specific requirements of these pupils and their distinctive abilities and competencies.
