They deserve to be heard.

When we tap into the communication capabilities of children with Rett syndrome, their lives transform. Then they can engage in meaningful school, play, and social interactions.

To address this critical issue, IRSF developed the Rett Syndrome Communication Guidelines and the Communication in Rett Syndrome Program. These in-depth resources provide parents, caregivers, communication professionals, therapists, and educators access to the best information and strategies to facilitate communication. 

Rett Syndrome Communication Guidelines

The Rett Syndrome Communication Guidelines are an invaluable resource for therapists, educators, and families who seek information on the assessment, intervention, and long-term management of communication in individuals with Rett syndrome. This in-depth, evidence-based publication involved the participation of over 600 professionals and caregivers across 43 countries.

Communication in Rett Syndrome Continuing Education Program

The Communication in Rett Syndrome Program equips professionals to help individuals with Rett reach their full communication potential. This 3-part webinar series is designed for SLPs, educators, OTs, ABA therapists, paraprofessionals, and graduate students interested or involved in the care and communication of those with Rett. Developed by Rett syndrome experts, the course is offered fully online, free of charge.

Learn Strategies and Best Practices

The program provides introductory information on Rett syndrome, outlines how features of the disorder impact communication, and shares best practices in assessment and intervention.
