Find your NFED family at our Family Conference.
We’ve designed the conference as a way for families and individuals affected by ectodermal dysplasias to develop a support network of others affected by similar conditions. Our caring staff and volunteers roll out the welcome mat for new attendees, and familiar faces return for a big, happy family reunion.
You’ll also be able to meet with medical and dental experts, talk with them one-on-one, and ask questions. You can use these unique opportunities to discuss recommended treatment options and ways to cope with the emotional challenges of ectodermal dysplasias.
At the Family Conference, you’ll learn how to advocate for yourself, for your loved ones, and for the entire ectodermal dysplasias community.
Kays’ Kids Camp And Teens Program
Kays’ Kids Camp is available for children who are infants to those who will be in 8th grade in the fall of 2023. The Teens Program is for those who will be in 9th through 12th grades in the fall of 2023. Both programs include fun, age-appropriate workshops, entertainment, arts and crafts, and social time with others who are affected by ectodermal dysplasias or who have siblings that are.
