MEET THE SPANISH ASSOCIATION
The Spanish FOXP1 Association was officially founded last 14th February by 3 FOXP1 mothers from
Madrid, Ibiza and Barcelona: Elena (mother of Zayra, 6 years old), Carmen (mother of Lola, 12 years
old) and Lorenza (mother of Bruno, 6 years old).
So far, Spanish families of diagnosed children had been in contact via a Whatsapp group and a few of
the ones based in Madrid had met on some occasions to know each other in person. However, many
of the families wished they could do more for their kids and for themselves as parts of a community
who shares the joys and struggles of living with FOXP1.
The association was founded with the mission of providing comprehensive care, support, and
guidance to individuals affected by FOXP1 syndrome and their families. They are committed parents
seeking to raise awareness, foster research, and promote the inclusion of individuals with this
condition.
On March 2nd 8 of these FOXP1 Spanish families met in Madrid to celebrate the new-born Asociación
FOXP1 España, wishing it to be the first of many gatherings! Please follow them on Facebook and Instagram under the name Asociación
FOXP1 España on Facebook and @asociacionfoxp1 on Instagram. There will be a website to be shared in the near future.
