What We Do
“Mom found NF Midwest, she calls them our life ring and for good reason, they saved us in more ways than they or anyone else could imagine. We were no longer alone. They sent us information, talked to us gave us a breath when everyone else seemed to have taken it away. Trust me when I say my NF is much easier with them in my corner. ”
-Myshell
Get Involved
“..we reminded ourselves to not get overwhelmed by the info and just to take it all in stride as much as we can. I think when it’s all new to you, it all sounds so scary. Which is why it was so nice to meet other families with happy kids and adults with NF. ”
-Sue
Learn
“I received both of your packets in the mail yesterday and I wanted to say THANK YOU! The NF packet provided me with so much information I cannot thank you enough. When we got his diagnosis in November we had never even heard of NF so this has all been a bit of a whirlwind for us. Thank you for providing me with the tools to pass along to his teacher and my family! ”

NF2 Symposium Transcript from Amanda Bergner, MS, CGC, Johns Hopkins,

Posted By NF Midwest | On December 5th, 2013

One of the presentations at NF Midwest’s annual family symposium held on October 12, 2013, was by Amanda Bergner from Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Ms. Bergner spoke about a quality of life study on neurofibromatosis type 2 and also about phone and tablet applications that help support the hard of hearing or vocally impaired. As part of our continuing effort to keep the neurofibromatosis community iNFormed we have published the transcript from that session as well as a summary and chart about the apps she talked about.
