On completion of this subject, students should comprehend clinical management of children presenting with developmental delays or disabilities and/or movement problems as related to musculoskeletal, cardiothoracic and neurological conditions. Students will also learn to take into account the family perspective in respect to having a child with an illness or disability. The student should appreciate the difference in management between children and adults, the specific needs and the complex nature of children with long-term and/or multiple problems and the significance of the grieving process within the families of children with life-threatening illness or long-term disabilities.
