To fund reseach aimed at potential cures for Rett syndrome and to empower families through education.

Programs

1 program

We empower families through our robust educational programming, consisting of free monthly webinars covering health care topics of interest to families, as well as 4 in-person regional education days. We provide 24/7/365 access to 2 staff members who are devoted to family engagement. We provide educational materials for families, caregivers, schools and therapists. We advocate to federal officials, keeping Rett syndrome on the list of funding priorities. We work with industry in the design of clinical trials, ensuring the clinical trial environment is family centered. We support a network of clinics in North America that is building guidelines for clinical care, making those guidelines available to families as they work with their child's care team, ensuring they are receiving appropriate care.
