Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Living with a long-term medical condition, particularly if it is a rare disease, can have a profound impact on the lives of children and their caregivers.
This Special Issue will explore the psychosocial needs of children and adolescents living with a rare condition and interventions that have been developed to address their needs. We are also interested in research conducted to assess the needs of their family members. Our goal is to update readers on evolving research in the field and familiarize them with useful clinical knowledge and interventions. We invite manuscripts addressing the diverse psychosocial, neuropsychological, and educational needs these children face as well as the impact on their family, friends and community. Help to make this collection even more successful by alerting other experts in the field who could submit their own articles. Simply copy and send the following link to your colleagues:
