FOXP1 Grandparents

Being a grandparent of a child with FOXP1 syndrome brings its own unique joys and challenges. This is your space.

For Grandparents

A Community for Grandparents

When a grandchild is diagnosed with FOXP1 syndrome, grandparents often find themselves navigating unfamiliar territory — wanting to help, but unsure how. The FOXP1 Grandparents Group provides a dedicated space to connect with other grandparents, share experiences, ask questions, and find the support and information you need.

Grandparents are a great resource for their families. You may not live close enough to help with child care, but you may have time to volunteer to help your grandchild and family. Grandparent volunteers are needed to organise programs, run fundraiser events, and advocate for your grandchild.

Whether you are looking to better understand the condition, find ways to support your family, or simply connect with others who understand what you are going through — you are welcome here.
