Red Book Insert

CTT have produced a Red Book insert on NF1 this will help parents and medical professionals on how to care for a child with NF1. To order a copy click here.

Attendance Letter

Many children with NF1 or any other medical condition rarely get the 100% certificates given out at school, due to hospital appointments, illness etc, this letter is to send to the Head explaining why it’s not correct to discriminate. Click here to download the Attendance Letter.

Letter for School

Whilst CTT cannot comment on how a particular child is at school, we have produced a generic letter to explain how NF1 can affect a child in school. Click here to download the Letter for School. There is also a PowerPoint presentation for school assemblies or classes which can be downloaded here.
