The association
The Catalan Association of 22q Syndrome emerges from the need to offer our autonomous community a meeting place for families affected by the 22q syndrome.
The association goals are:
Impulsar a la Comunitat Autònoma de Catalunya els tractaments adequats a les persones afectades per la Síndrome anomenat Velo-Cardio-Facial (VCFS), conegut també com a Síndrome Di George o de Deleció del Cromosoma 22q11; Síndrome Shprintzen, Catch 22, Síndrome Opitz, o “Conotruncal Face Anomaly”.
Col·laborar amb les diferents administracions responsables per a la implantació en l’àmbit de la Comunitat Autònoma de Catalunya d’un eficaç sistema de tractament de les conseqüències clíniques de les persones i familiars afectades per aquesta síndrome, i en especial de les relatives al llenguatge i a la comunicació, als aspectes cognitius, i al desenvolupament emocional i social de la persona.
