Q. What does family networking mean?

A. Family networking is a program of CCA in which a family member mom/dad/child is introduced to another family member who is going through similar experiences.

Q. Who will I be networked with?

A. CCA keeps a list of families who are interested in communicating with others. CCA will match you as closely as possible to another family whose child (or adult) has the same syndrome. If we don’t have someone with the same syndrome we will connect you with a family going through or who has been through similar experiences, i.e. treatment, surgeries, emotional or financial circumstances. We will also consider the age and sex of the affected family member.

Q. Will the family I’m networked with live near me?

A. If possible CCA will connect you with someone near you. If not we will find someone we think you will relate to depending on your needs.

Q. How do I communicate with the family (mom/dad) I am networked with?

A. Most families email back and forth, however if you prefer you may call or write letters back and forth.

Q. I’m a single parent. Does your networking list include any single parents I can talk to?

A. Yes we can connect you with a single parent.

Q. Do you provide networking for the kids?

A. At this time we do not have an extensive list of kids, but will connect them if we can.

Q. Is there an age range for networking kids?

A. There is not an age range; however they do need to be able to communicate with one another.
