Objective: Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the regression of motor, cognitive, and communication skills. Teleintervention and assistive technologies, including Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices and tools such as Click4all, have demonstrated efficacy in improving communication, social interaction, and adaptive functioning, especially in school settings. The active involvement of caregivers and professionals, combined with the flexibility of remote care and the use of low-cost, adaptive technologies, is essential to maximize outcomes and promote social inclusion. The integration of these strategies with conventional therapies and the continued development of customizable technologies offer promising prospects for expanding access to treatment and improving the quality of life of individuals with RTT.
