The ACC Network provides information and other resources on request. It also facilitates networking among individuals with callosal disorders, their families, caregivers and professionals by hosting an ACC listserv and by maintaining a directory of families who have given permission to share their contact information with other network members.

Information packet

The ACC Network information packet includes research articles and reports, articles written about individuals with callosal disorders, past newsletters, and additional ACC-related information.

ACC and ME

This children's book was published in 2007 in an effort to create greater understanding and awareness of ACC. The beautifully illustrated picture book was co-authored by Kathy Schilmoeller, Ph.D., cofounder of the ACC Network, and Lynn Paul, Ph.D., and illustrated by Cindy Reisenauer, a mother of an adult son with ACC. If you would like more information about the book, including how to obtain a copy, contact the ACC Network by phone, mail, or e-mail.

ACC- Listserv

The ACC Listserv is an electronic discussion group focused on disorders of the corpus callosum and related issues. Currently, more than 500 people (parents, individuals with ACC, and professionals) participate in the listserv.

*Signing up for the ACC-L Listserv will not place you on the ACC Network mailing list. To receive the information packet or to be placed on the mailing list for newsletters and other updates, contact the network:

Directory

The ACC Network maintains a directory of names and contact information of consenting families to facilitate networking among members. The directory is arranged geographically to support regional connections among families. At this time the directory contains contact information from families in 20 countries around the world.
