Consultants and Volunteers

Each "main" group of conditions within MAGIC has a leader called a Division Consultant. Each Consultant has a child with that specific condition (or is an affected adult) and is available to speak to you from personal experience.

Remember: "we" are not medical experts. However, we can help you understand troublesome medical "stuff" in a way that is easier to grasp. We can also tell you how we dealt with situations similar to what you are going through, and how things turned out for os and our children.

These great Division Consultants spend countless hours answering emails, talking on the phone and assisting the families. Together they form the Division Consultant Committee. (Scroll down for additional support areas.)
