I consider the best resource for Cri du Chat information is The Cri Du
Chat Syndrome Support Group in the UK -- they tell it like it is, from
real world experiences:

http://www.cridchat.u-net.com/

What is the support group for?

* Provides support and friendship for families and carers throughout
Britain, (and maybe now
internationally!)
* Raises awareness of Cri Du Chat Syndrome amongst the medical
profession and the public.
* Raises funds to promote research through carefully selected projects.
* Gives information and advice to families and professionals.
* Organises the Annual Conference. This is a two day event for
professionals, families and other interested parties. It is the chance
for families who may not normally be able to see each other to meet and
talk. For professionals it gives them the chance to see many Cri Du Chat
children in a non-medical environment. Everybody who attends comes away
knowing more !.
* Publishes a newsletter with general items of interest for families and
carers.

This site also has links to other CDC resources.
