Have a Question about Celiac Disease?

The SickKids Family Knowledge Group (SKFKG) wants your input!
The SickKids Family Knowledge Group is looking for volunteer reviewers and editors (no experience necessary) to ensure that the books SickKids publish are interesting, educational, practical, written in plain English and genuinely help provide the best care for children. Ideas for new books often come from appointments with patients and research activities. However, a parent/caregiver perspective on SickKids’ best-selling books is equally important - as only parents and caregivers can identify the issues that are most important for them, their families, or others involved in the care of their children.
Members will receive invitations for book reviews and other projects (e.g., focus groups and online surveys) directly to their inbox and can choose projects at their convenience. No matter what – members will receive timely and relevant information and practical tips via email from SickKids on important child health and wellness topics.
