Parent Panel Information
During our annual conferences one of our most popular sessions would be the Parent Panels. For those of you who do not know what a parent panel is, it is like an in-person Facebook group.
- A chance to discuss topics of interest with families who are in your child’s/adult’s age range.
- An opportunity to use other families as sounding boards to help answer any questions or concerns you may have about a wide array of topics related to Cri Du Chat Syndrome.
For those of you who have been to a conference, what would you tell a new family about the parent panels?
We will be releasing the schedule soon with the day and time of the Parent Panel for your child’s/adult’s age range. We can’t wait to meet you and learn more about you, your child/adult, your family and what questions you may have.
