Events are one of the best ways to get involved with Rettsyndrome.org and play an integral part in funding research for treatment and a cure for Rett syndrome. Events are fun, help raise awareness, and connect you to our community of amazing families. Participating in an event (or starting your own) will have a direct impact on the lives of many people affected by Rett syndrome. Whether you tee off at a golf tournament or dance at a gala, there is something for everyone, all year long! Find an event near you or contact us to start your own!
How do parents and caregivers recognize and treat pain in a loved one with Rett, especially if communication is a challenge? This RettEd can help! Dr. Tim Feyma and Dr. Art Beisang of Gillette Children’s, and Dr. Scott Schwantes of Children’s Minnesota, will address the tools you need to identify pain in your loved one and how to treat their pain. 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.

Every job, school, team or organization that he was involved with became a part of him. He had a great ability to connect with people and shared his passion for life with everyone that he met.
