Family Focus

Hello Camille from Belgium !

In October, her family shares their story about the impact of diagnosis. We would like to give the stories a focus each month.

We want to pay tribute to all the Rett families who fight Rett challenges every day. Thus, we will be sharing stories from families across Europe about their experiences of life with Rett syndrome. We hope you will find them inspiring, heart warming and moving. We also hope you will feel you are not alone in dealing with the challenges that this devastating disorder presents everyday. Together we are stronger.
