Joubert syndrome

A rare genetic brain disorder where parts of the brain never develop properly.  The symptoms vary from minor to severe.  It can lead to things like intellectual development problems, poor motor skills, and flawed eyesight.  Severe cases unfortunately are fatal, and include kidney failure, liver failure, and respiratory failure.  There is no treatment for Joubert syndrome so any possible treatment is based on the symptoms that are shown.

Land acknowledgement

Embrace Autism recognizes and acknowledges the traditional lands of the Indigenous peoples across Ontario. From the lands of the Anishinaabe to the Attawandaron and Haudenosaunee, these lands surrounding the Great Lakes are steeped in First Nations history.

We are in solidarity with Indigenous brothers and sisters to honour and respect Mother Earth. We acknowledge and give gratitude for the wisdom of the Grandfathers and the four winds that carry the spirits of our ancestors that walked this land before us.

Embrace Autism is located on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We acknowledge and thank the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation—the Treaty holders—for being stewards of this traditional territory.
