Rett Syndrome Awareness Program
Rett Syndrome is a neuro-genetic disorder caused due to Genetic Mutation, mainly affecting girls. Child would have normal growth and development upto age of around 18 months, subsequent to which they would start showing signs of regression or stagnation in the developmental milestones, slowly turning into specific developmental disabilities affecting the movement, speech, mental abilities, breathing disorders, gastro issues and a typical repetitive hand movements.
There are presently no known cure for the Syndrome.
We conduct regular programs with doctors and rehabilitation specialist for parents registered with our foundation to address specific issues parents have for their children with Rett Syndrome. Besides, these specific program we also do an Annual Awareness Program every year in October, which coincides with the Rett Awareness Month celebrated all over the world.
Last year we had done this awareness program at Lok Nayak Hospital, MAMC campus, New Delhi on 20th Oct, 2013.
We are looking for a venue, an auditorium for conducting this years program. The tentative date for the program is 12th October, 2014.
We seek your active cooperation to suggest suitable venue for this years program. Being a self funded organization, we would be great full if we are able to have this venue sponsored or subsidized for the charges involved.
Should you need any further information or details, we would be pleased to address the same on hearing from you.
We also invite you to visit our website www.rettsyndrome.in to get an insight of the activities under taken by our foundation and how you can contribute and support our cause.
