FTD Disorders Registry

The FTD Disorders Registry is proud to sponsor the PSP Society of Canada Family Conference in Etobicoke, Ontario, October 23–24! Registry Director Carrie Milliard, MS, CGC, CCRC will be speaking at the conference. #PSP #FTDResearch #ResearchReady

This month, our Quick Question asks: Do you track symptoms or progression over time? Your response helps us better understand the experiences of people impacted by FTD. ftdregistry.org/quick-questi... #endFTD #FTDResearch #FTDDisordersRegistry

Registry Director Carrie Milliard is attending the "Translating TMEM106b Research to Clinical Practice" Workshop hosted by @pennftdc.bsky.social. These discussions help lay the groundwork for how emerging FTD research may ultimately inform care for people and families impacted by FTD.

The FTD Disorders Registry will be at #ISFTD this week, connecting with researchers, partner organizations, and others working to move FTD research forward. Learn what happens at an FTD research conference and why these meetings matter: ftdregistry.org/press/what-h... #endFTD

For World FTD Awareness Week, we’re putting a Spotlight on FTD Awareness. Greater awareness can help people recognize frontotemporal degeneration, connect with support, and understand why research across these different diagnoses matters. #spotlightFTD #endFTD

Research has the power to move us forward. 🔦 During World FTD Awareness Week, we’re shining a spotlight on research and how our community can help. The FTD Disorders Registry connects people with opportunities to participate in FTD research. Explore research opportunities: https://bit.ly/47hm0yl

FTD research doesn’t move forward because of one study, one researcher, or one dataset. It takes participants, families, clinicians, researchers, data, all working together. See how the FTD Disorders Registry helps support that work. ftdregistry.org/press/what-d... #endFTD #FTDResearch

Behavioral changes can be challenging for people living with FTD and those who support them. This month’s Quick Question asks about these changes and how confident you feel managing them. Share your perspective: ftdregistry.org/quick-questi... #FTDResearch #endFTD
