3a-3 Chromosome 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome Healthy Minds Clinic
Project Description:
CEDD research and clinical faculty, led by Dr. Enriquez, and medical director Dr. Angkustsiri support the 22q11.2 Healthy Minds Clinic. Since its inception over 15 years ago, the clinic has provided developmental and behavioral pediatric and neuropsychological assessments to hundreds of children with either deletions, or more recently, duplications at chromosome 22q11.2. The clinicians provide feedback and follow-up support for families and the professionals providing care in their home communities. Dr. Angkustsiri has also developed a series of Chromosome 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome. Educational Videos that share individual and family perspectives and information about medical issues common in 22q11.2 Follow-up with families shows a high degree of satisfaction with the clinic, greater understanding of the child's disorder, and an increased ability to advocate for and secure services required for educational and intellectual development.
