Great news! Our online home at www.NFED.org has had an extreme makeover.
We have launched an entirely new website to better serve our ectodermal dysplasias community. It’s our gift to our families, donors, volunteers and care providers in celebration of our 35th anniversary.
Families complained about the old site, how hard it was to find information and to navigate. We agreed! The old technology made it tough to view on your phone. They also shared ideas for things they would like to see on a new website. We listened! We are confident that you will find the new site to be a huge improvement.
Here’s what you can now do on the new website:
About Us – Watch and share our video to raise awareness, learn about our staff, Board of Directors and councils; read our financials; contact us and shop our store.
Learn – Read about what the ectodermal dysplasias are, the different types, how to get a diagnosis, genetics, inheritance and research.
Treat – Find information on how to find a doctor or dentist, medical and dental treatment options and how to fund treatment
Thrive – Meet our families, learn tips for how to cope with a new diagnosis and what you can expect.
You can now easily
- navigate the NFED website whether you are on your PC, tablet or mobile device.
- connect with other families
- peruse our extensive library of articles on the ectodermal dysplasia
- explore our blog by the topics that interest you
- watch videos or read articles from families sharing their stories

- find more information on your particular syndrome
- sign up for events
- learn the latest research updates and how you can participate
- discover all the different ways you can get involved in our NFED family

Today is just the launch. We will be adding fresh content regularly so that you can find all things NFED on the site.
