About the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs, Inc.
A Commitment to Education, Research and Support
Founded in 1960, the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs, Inc. (NOMOTC) is a network of more than 450
local clubs representing over 25,000 individual parents of multiples - twins, triplets, quadruplets and more. NOMOTC
is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation funded by dues, donations and grants.
Goals:
Our primary goal is to improve public awareness of the needs of multiple birth children by fostering development of
local support groups, enhancing the quality of educational materials available to parents, educators and others and
by cooperating with and participating in research projects which involve twins and/or their families. NOMOTC is
comprised of three distinct departments - Education, Research and Membership. The goals of the organization are
achieved by a network of volunteer workers across the United States.
Education:
The Education Department of NOMOTC writes, edits and publishes all of the organization's written materials.
NOMOTC's Notebook features current research, expert columns, book reviews, club news and multiple birth related
articles. The department also produces a variety of booklets covering school placement, higher order multiples and
bereavement issues.
Research:
NOMOTC cooperates and participates in medical and psychological research projects. These involve multiples
and/or their families and are conducted by qualified professional researchers. The organization also conducts its own
research, surveying the membership on topics that relate to multiples and their parents. NOMOTC is a collective
charter member of the International Society for Twin Studies (ISTS) and member of the Council of Multiple Birth
Organizations (COMBO).
Support:
NOMOTC promotes the concept of mutual support for parents of multiples. Opportunities for self-help and emotional
support are provided through local and statewide meetings. The Membership Department operates a Support Service
Program to assist individuals in special situations. These services include pen pals for parents whose multiples
have disabilities or for parents who have disabilities affecting their childrearing abilities; Higher Order Multiples
