Praise for ASCEND 2022!

We connected with so many wonderful families and had the opportunity to listen to some brilliant researchers and doctors speak. Savannah also had the opportunity to participate in a research study with Vanderbilt while there. Highlights of the trip include Savannah meeting her celebrity crush (Chris Ulmer), Savannah testing out an eye-gaze controlled wheelchair, making new friends and finally meeting existing friends in person, teaching other parents about the fun to be had with switch-operated toys and more!

I couldn't be more proud to represent Acadia Pharmaceuticals at this critically important Rett Syndrome conference hosted by IRSF. I'm so privileged to have the opportunity to help create a world without Rett.
Damian May, Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc.
There were so many amazing sessions! My favorites were the ones that provided practical information to resolve common issues for us. The best part was meeting families and attending the very informative sessions. It was our first time attending, and I’m looking forward to the next one.
Marisela Quintero, first-time attendee
