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! ”

iNFo Fair 2018: Job Discrimination and Employee Rights

Posted By NF Midwest | On August 10th, 2018

We’re excited to tell you about another one of our presenters for our October 20th NF Midwest Symposium and iNFo Fair. (To see the line-up so far go to www.nfmidwest.org/symposium.)

Hannah Walsh, a staff attorney with Equip for Equality’s Employment Rights Helpline will be sharing information on the rights of employees with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act and other federal and state laws. Topics will include requesting reasonable accommodations, disclosing your disability, and the right to be free from discrimination. Hannah will explain how the ADA covers a broad range of people, even those who may not identify as a person with a disability and give advice on finding a job if you an individual with a disability.

Even if you don’t feel like you have a disability, or you have young children and are not concerned with these issues, we strongly encourage everyone to attend. We all need to be armed with knowledge in order to be prepared for what the future might bring and to be able to share this knowledge with our community in order to support each other and increase awareness.
