If you have been to Family Conference before, you may have noticed that it will be a little different than other years. We have moved the date to earlier in July and the event will last for two days instead of three. Here’s what has not changed.
Our caring staff and families will welcome you with open arms and understanding. You will quickly experience – not just know – that you are not alone. You will develop a support network of others affected by ectodermal dysplasias and learn from their practical tips and ideas. See your future as you learn from others who are older or who have had experiences that await you. You will meet people who want to take charge of their ectodermal dysplasias, their health and their life. These friends can last a lifetime.
Meet medical and dental experts and have the unique opportunity to talk with them one-on-one to ask questions. They are not just knowledgeable but compassionate. Learn about current therapies and discover ways to cope with the emotional challenges of ectodermal dysplasias. Learn how to advocate for yourself, for your loved one and for the entire ectodermal dysplasias community. Be motivated by inspirational speakers. You also can share your insights and story to inspire and help others. stay in the know by hearing the latest research developments for your type of ectodermal dysplasia.
