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:
“I believe, as Maori people do, that children should have more adults in their lives than just their mothers and fathers. Children need more than one or two positive role models. It is in your children’s best interest that you help them cultivate a support system that extends beyond their immediate family.”
—Stephanie Marston (20th century)
