Understanding Rett Syndrome
Rett syndrome is a rare genetic neurological condition caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene, affecting predominantly girls. It occurs in approximately 1 in 10,000 female births in Australia. After a period of apparently normal early development, children with Rett syndrome experience a regression phase where they lose purposeful hand use and spoken language. The condition causes a range of difficulties including stereotypic hand movements (wringing, squeezing), breathing irregularities, seizures, scoliosis, feeding difficulties, and mobility problems. Despite significant physical and communication challenges, people with Rett syndrome are often highly aware and engaged with their environment. They understand far more than they can express, which makes appropriate communication support and respectful interaction essential. With modern care and the right support, many people with Rett syndrome live into their 40s and 50s and can experience quality of life that would have been unimaginable a generation ago.
How rett syndrome affects daily life
Rett syndrome affects almost every aspect of daily life. The loss of purposeful hand use means the person cannot feed themselves, dress, or perform most self-care tasks independently. Communication relies on eye gaze, body language, and sometimes eye-gaze technology rather than speech. Breathing irregularities (hyperventilation, breath-holding) can be distressing for the person and their carers. Seizures affect up to 80% of people with Rett syndrome. Scoliosis is common and may require surgical correction. Mobility ranges from independent walking with an ataxic gait to full wheelchair dependence. Constipation and feeding difficulties require ongoing management. The level of full-time care required is substantial, and families often describe feeling that the broader disability system does not fully understand the complexity of Rett syndrome.
What to look for in a provider
Good Rett syndrome providers presume competence, meaning they interact with the person as someone who understands even when they cannot speak or use their hands purposefully. Ask whether they have experience with eye-gaze communication technology, how they manage breathing irregularities and seizures, and whether their manual handling skills are appropriate for the person's mobility level. Red flags include providers who talk over or around the person, who do not invest in learning their communication system, or who are unfamiliar with the specific physical and medical challenges of Rett syndrome.
How to access funding
Rett syndrome is on the NDIS List A, meaning a confirmed genetic diagnosis provides automatic NDIS access. Plans typically include significant funding for personal care, physiotherapy, OT, speech pathology, assistive technology (particularly eye-gaze communication devices), and nursing care. Plans are reviewed annually, and specialist support coordination is recommended to manage the multiple providers and complex health interface. The Australian Rett Syndrome Study and Rett Syndrome Association of Australia can provide guidance on NDIS planning.
