2012 Functional Ability Video Study
This study is designed to better understand your daughter's functional skills during everyday life by showing us how she moves, eats and communicates.
Families in the Australian Rett Syndrome Study will receive an information sheet about the study, a consent form, a functional ability video checklist and information on how to take the video and return the footage to us. If you would like copies of any of this information either emailed or posted to you please contact Helen, Jenny or Katherine at aussierett@ichr.uwa.edu.au or phone 0419 956 946 / (08) 9489 7774.
To help you when you are filming your daughter, one of the mothers in the study has generously given us permission to make her daughter's videos available for other families in the study to watch. For the family's privacy these videos have been password protected, please contact us at the email address or phone numbers above to receive the password.

AussieRett Family Questionnaire 2011
Doctors can report a patient with confirmed or suspected Rett
syndrome either directly to the study or through the Australian
Paediatric Surveillance Unit.
Families, care workers and doctors can participate in our Rett
syndrome research by completing a questionnaire and assisting with
the collection of medical reports.
Families and carers are invited to contribute information every 2 to 3 years in relation to changes in the health or function of the individual with Rett syndrome for whom they care.
For more information contact Dr Helen Leonard on 0419 956 946 or aussierett@ichr.uwa.edu.au.
