This year our Remarkable families join us and answer questions about their lives with Rett Syndrome. We hope that you not only learn a little something from each of us, but also find a little comfort if you feel like you're in this alone - because you're not. We are with you and we support you!

In this episode, our families talk about

💜 What has been the biggest medical issue for your child?
💜 The hardest part about Rett Syndrome?  
💜 What kind of therapies have been useful for your child?
💜 What equipment has been useful?
💜 How does your son/daughter communicate?
💜 How has the pandemic effected your daily lives?
💜  Any misconceptions about Rett Syndrome? What are you always correcting people on, when it comes to your child and Rett?



We have not covered everything about Rett in these videos because, those were not our stories to tell. Reach out with your story if you feel ready, we'd love to hear from you.

Please hit 'like' and share each of these videos on Facebook and Instagram, so we can get the word out about Rett Syndrome for Rett Syndrome Awareness Month this October! Rett Syndrome life can be very intense already, and if you cannot bring yourself to watch these videos - it's okay. Consider sharing these videos instead, and bookmark to come back when you are ready.
