Due to the rarity of Rett syndrome and overlapping symptoms with other, more common neurodevelopmental disorders, diagnosis is challenging and often missed or delayed. With one Rett-targeted therapy recently approved and others in development, clinicians now have the opportunity to offer not merely symptom management but potential clinical improvement. This PeerView case-based activity is designed to improve your ability to recognize, diagnose, and treat patients with Rett syndrome. Each session features a realistic case discussion with expert faculty panelists sharing the evidence that supports clinical decisions for timely diagnosis and early initiation of multidisciplinary management and targeted therapy as appropriate. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Apply diagnostic criteria to provide a timely diagnosis of Rett syndrome in patients demonstrating subtle signs and symptoms; Employ evidence-based, age-appropriate care for patients with Rett syndrome in alignment with consensus management guidelines; and Evaluate the evidence surrounding the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of new and emerging therapies for the treatment of Rett syndrome.
