Clinics and Support
For those families seeking more information and support, a list of A-T advocacy organizations from around the world can be found at the A-T Children’s Project website at http://atcp.org/AdvocacyOrgs.
Also, the US, UK, Australia, Israel and Japan have specialized clinics for patients with A-T. These clinics house multidisciplinary medical teams, including neurologists, immunologists, pulmonologists and therapists, capable of dealing with the many facets of this disease. For more information about a clinic, please contact the A-T advocacy organization for that country.

Famous quotes containing the word support:
“... the first reason for psychology’s failure to understand what people are and how they act, is that clinicians and psychiatrists, who are generally the theoreticians on these matters, have essentially made up myths without any evidence to support them; the second reason for psychology’s failure is that personality theory has looked for inner traits when it should have been looking for social context.”
—Naomi Weisstein (b. 1939)
