Connect With Our Community

Information and support are important to managing ectodermal dysplasias. Who better to share your challenges and triumphs than with a group who understands what it is really like to live with ectodermal dysplasia? To help you build a strong support network, we have many ways for you to connect with our ectodermal dysplasias community.

The connections we have made via NFED are so amazing.  I received a message from a mom telling me how much we have helped her family and how her daughter looks up to our daughter, yet we have never met in person. – Jenny 

Connect with Us

We have vital information to share with you. Our staff can listen and help you. We can also connect you with other families from your area, with your syndrome, or who have experienced similar issues.

Request a Contact List of Affected Individuals in Your Area

An adult affected by ectodermal dysplasia or the parent of an affected child can request a contact list of families in their state or with their syndrome. First, you must join the NFED. Second, you must give permission to be included in the contact list in order to receive one. Request a list now.

Contact the Family Liaison for Your Region

Families often want to talk to others who have “been there, done that.” Adults with ectodermal dysplasia and parents of affected children are just the people for the job. They volunteer as trained family liaisons and will listen, share their experiences, offer support, and discuss helpful NFED resources.

Ask questions. Share thoughts. Join the conversation online. We have our main Facebook page and several private groups. For the private groups, we restrict group memberships to the intended audience.
