The Sotos Syndrome Support Association (SSSA) in the United States is a non-profit organization that was organized in 1988. The SSSA has a substantial amount of information available on the web at http://www.well.com/user/sssa/. The SSSA also has a research library with over 160 published articles available to its members.
Each summer the SSSA holds an annual conference. The conference is an excellent place to meet with other parents who have a child with Sotos syndrome, let your child meet others with the same syndrome, and learn from the wealth of knowledgeable speakers at the conference. Information will be available on the SSSA web site above as it becomes available. Upcoming conferences are:
Conference 2008 - Niagara Falls, Ontario
from the 25th to the 27th of July
www.SotosSyndrome.org
Conference 2009 - Salt Lake City, Utah
Dates to be determined
