Communication is one of Rett syndrome’s biggest challenges. As such, individuals with Rett struggle to connect, build relationships, and make their wishes known. This critical RettEd webcast can help, no matter where a person is on their Rett journey, whether newly diagnosed or an adult who is no longer receiving services. Theresa Bartolotta, PhD, CCC-SLP, along with a speech therapist and parent, will unpack The Communications Guidelines so families, physicians, and caregivers will know how to use this important tool in real-life situations. They’ll share how they’ve implemented its strategies to enhance communication, explain critical information, and answer your questions.

We’ve learned a lot since the ‘80s—and it’s time to set the record straight! Dr. Bernard Suter of Texas Children’s Hospital will share what we know about males with Rett, males with MECP2 duplication, and current and future study options. We’ll also explore why males have not been included in clinical trials so far and if males will be approved for future Rett treatments. Dr. Suter will discuss a new biomarker study specifically for males with MECP2 mutations. Finally, we’ll share how IRSF advocates for males with industry partners. With this in mind, what’s on your mind? Register now and submit your questions and thoughts. There should be time to take write-in questions during the session as well. There is no fee to attend this webinar thanks to your ongoing donor support and that of our Sponsors, but pre-registration is required. Information & Registration
