Meeting of friends and parents of girls with Rett Syndrome
This was our first meeting after a longer break, and so the participants’ level of interest was all the greater. At first we heard a presentation about the Tobii computer, after which we talked shared our expectations and experiences with the others. Little Tonička and young Evička were looked after by our volunteers Marie, Aneta, Gabriela and Lucie.
Thank you.
On 1 April 2014, several of our teachers and counsellors met with Lenka Kohoutková, a long-term assistant for a girl with Rett Syndrome and a member of the board of the Rett Community. She vividly shared her experiences from a Dutch workshop at an international Rett Syndrome conference. We discussed the use of the Big Mac switch at schools in Israel and the Netherlands, and also talked about communication and possible school activities for girls with Rett Syndrome. The meeting was pleasant and inspirational, and we look forward to working together in the future.
