How it works

NPC touches walking, swallowing, speech, vision, sleep, and thinking. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy, feeding support, seizure medicines, and school accommodations help a child stay as strong and connected as possible while disease-modifying treatments do their work.

Who it is for

Every person living with NPC, at every stage.

What it does not do

Supportive care does not stop cholesterol from building up inside cells. It protects quality of life while we fight for a cure.

What this treatment does

Four short pictures of the idea. Play through, or tap a step. This is a teaching picture, not a medical simulation.

Step 1 of 4 · The whole child

Educational only. Ask an NPC specialist what is right for a specific child or adult. Official sites and FDA pages are the source of prescribing information.
