We help the patient, family and their care team handle health and development issues caused by Rett syndrome. We also participate in clinical research aimed at learning more about Rett syndrome management and treatment strategies.
Katie’s Clinic was founded because the medical concerns and development of girls with Rett syndrome are unique and require specialized care.
While there is currently no cure, treatments are available that can improve the quality of life for girls and young women with Rett, as well as their families. Our specialists are experienced in meeting the medical, developmental, psychological and social needs of girls with Rett syndrome.
