47th Annual Family Conference
For 47 years, NTSAD’s Annual Family Conference has provided individuals and families living with Tay-Sachs, Canavan, GM1 gangliosidosis, or Sandhoff disease:
A safe space to support and learn from one another,
An opportunity to learn from researchers, clinicians, and industry members,
A camp experience for children living with one of the diseases we represent,
An opportunity for rare siblings to connect with other kids just like them.
What we look forward to in Dallas:
New Attendee Orientation Session
Camp Snuggle and Camp Active for children living with Canavan, GM1, Sandhoff, or Tay-Sachs
Camp Sunshine and Youth Group for the siblings
A robust Research Day including an industry panel discussion and breakout sessions for each disease to learn more about studies, research, and trials
Empowering Families through Advocacy Session
A Texas BBQ and country music concert
Health and Symptom Management Session for families caring for younger children
Sessions for adults living with Late Onset Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases
Support sessions and simply time to connect in NTSAD’s Family Lounge
