About Us
The Central Coast Children's Foundation (CCCF) is a Monterey-based non-profit foundation that pursues parallel missions at local, national, and international level, by providing an array of supports and services to non-profit organizations that serve young people with disabilities and those from low-income families. CCCF makes contributions and provides technical assistance, program planning and staff development support to local non-profits, and develops and provides useful information to agencies and individuals helping young people around the world.
Among CCCF's broader initiatives are (1) maintenance of an Augmentative Communication World Network designed to provide information and support to groups in emerging nations that are helping to promote access to assistive technology (AT) and augmentative communication (AAC) resources for children with disabilities in areas heretofore dramatically underserved, (2) emergency and continuing AAC and AT support to groups serving children with disabilities in areas of the Gulf Coast especially hard hit by recent hurricanes, (3) a growing national effort to disseminate information and promote the use of practical tools that help overcome patient:provider communication barriers in health care settings.
Since 2002, CCCF has amassed a growing list of occasional papers, web essays, useful biographic references, and sources of practical information. This website is designed to help us share these resources with people who are trying to help children around the world.
