Quinn

This sweetheart is the entire reason Racing For Rett was formed! Quinn is a beautiful 10 year old girl! She was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome at 15 months old after not meeting developmental milestones. Quinn is a fun loving 10 year old girl with a ton of sass!

As Quinn's family, our main goal for awareness is informing others you can interact with her like any other kiddo her age. She may not be able to verbally communicate with you, but she is aware of what you are saying and uses her own form of nonverbal communication to respond.
