Connecting people, places, and possibilities, to improve the lives of those impacted by CASK Gene Disorders.
OUR MISSION
CASK Gene Foundation was created to improve the lives of those impacted by CASK gene disorders by acting as a global voluntary health organization, dedicated to Improve awareness, education, and advocacy relating to this condition; provide assistance to patients and their families; and support and engage in research to accelerate the path to better diagnosis, treatment and perhaps someday - a cure - for the effects of CASK gene disorders.
OUR PROGRAM AREAS
Education and Awareness
We want to improve the ability that parents and providers alike will be able to recognize the effects of CASK gene mutations, and to improve the rate of successful diagnosis.
Once a diagnosis is discovered, we believe parents should have quick access to hope, support, and information to help them cope with and define their new reality.
As parents learn to be the expert their child needs, we want to empower them to advocate for their needs and help educate their teams.
Family Support
We ultimately want to find a CURE!
While we are fighting the long battle ahead, however, we want to improve the quality of life that is available to those with CASK gene disorders and their families.
We aim to help access to more effective treatments and therapies, to give CASK gene warriors their best shot in life, and to connect with resources to help support their families.
Research and Collaboration
We want to work together for the benefit of our families. We aim to collaborate and to foster cooperation between other foundations, research teams, and medical providers - no matter how far apart we may be, by distance or professional focus.
We believe that the success of CASK gene related research is ultimately aided by the active participation of patients with CASK gene disorders and their families , and we aim to be active contributors to this research.
