Mark your calendars – make your plan!
Who: Every person touched by Rett syndrome - parents, caregivers, professionals
Why: Invest in yourself – one of the best things you can do for the child or adult in your life with RTT is to educate yourself about the syndrome and the pathways to treatments and a cure.
What: Knowledgeable, respected Rett experts brought together under one roof, for one weekend, dozens of unique sessions – all for you! Unparalleled sessions on research progress, communication, education, life planning issues, medical care, fundraising how-to workshops, marriage/family strengthening workshops, exhibitors and hands-on demos. And the most priceless gift of all: building community, friendship and learning from each other.

Conference Financial Planning Tip:
- Some company Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) will reimburse for registration fees, and possibly travel expenses, for education conferences on a diagnosed medical condition with a doctor’s prescription. Most 2010 Benefits and FSA enrollment periods open soon – see if you can take advantage of this opportunity by calling your company’s benefits administration department today!
- Some support agencies understand the life-changing importance of educating parents and caregivers about their child’s diagnosis. Contact your child’s case manager or social worker to ask what expenses could possibly be covered: registration fees, travel, session recordings, or additional respite hours.
- Contact local service organizations such as Lion’s Club or Kiwanis International for their sponsorship or support.
