Raffles, research, resources and beyond!

Dear GP2C Team;

As the holiday season approaches, we always like to reflect on the accomplishments of the passing year. We have so much to be thankful for, and so much to thank you for also. You and your families, friends, and networks of supporters continue to demonstrate tremendous resolve in the fight against Rett Syndrome, and keeping our children ready for the future.

Rett Syndrome is tough. It’s hard to watch the physical and emotional toll. It’s hard to see your child or your grandchild struggle. It’s hard as a grandparent to see what it does to your children.  But GP2C exists, at its very core, to bring hope for all families dealing with Rett Syndrome. We have a hashtag – #HopeInAction – and it is the heart of all we do.

November Raffle!

Rett University

Susan and Kourtney are on the road to close out 2019! Consulting sessions in British Columbia, Los Angeles, Carrolton, GA, and West Palm Beach, FL are on the books, as well as a tentative two-day seminar for SLPs and Special Education teachers in the northern Virginia/Washington, DC area. And for our Disney Princess families, don’t forget to reserve your private one-on-one consults in Orlando during the Race Weekend (Friday, 2/21/2020). To register for an Orlando consult, CLICK HERE!

And for 2020, be sure to follow our Rett University Facebook page, where we will chronicle all of our planned domestic and international travel as the year unfolds. Are we coming to a city near you? Call or email, and we will do our best to coordinate sessions while we are near! 

GRATITUDE FOR COMMUNICATION

Do you have a non-verbal relative or friend? If so, then you likely realize the power and importance of communication. We are so incredibly grateful when our loved ones are able to communicate.  As a sibling of someone who was non-verbal, all I wanted was to hear my sister talk.  (Read the entire blog HERE!)

Family Support Blog

Meet the Krauskopf family! As seasoned veterans in the fight against Rett Syndrome, they are perfect examples of #RisingAboveRett! Elisa and Kenneth have three beautiful daughters, and their youngest Tori, has Rett Syndrome. They have faced many challenges and heartbreaks over the last 21 years, but have also enjoyed many triumphs, persevering and overcoming all along the way. They are a beautiful example of resiliency, and we are thankful they have shared their journey with us!
