Rett Education

Empowering you with the knowledge to thrive.

At IRSF, we believe that every family and caregiver should be empowered with the information and knowledge needed to help your loved one with Rett thrive. We offer a menu of educational resources, opportunities, and family events where you can learn both from professional experts and other families who have walked this path before. Check out our in-person and online RettEd programs below.

For the Whole Family

IRSF’s RettAway is a destination vacation for families to spend time together and build connections with other members of our Rett community. Held in years without a national summit, it’s an exclusive opportunity for families to have fun together in a location that understands the challenges and joys of caring for a loved one with Rett syndrome.

The 2023 RettAway brought nearly 70 families together in San Antonio, Texas, for a fun-filled weekend including a day at Morgan’s Inspiration Island Splash Experience, part of Morgan’s Wonderland accessible theme park, reserved exclusively for Rett families.
