The psychosocial impact of childhood dementia on children and their parents: a systematic reviewChildhood dementias are a group of rare and ultra-rare paediatric conditions clinically characterised by enduring global decline in central nervous system function, associated with a progressive loss of developmentally acquired skills, quality of life and shortened life expectancy. Traditional research, service development and advocacy efforts have been fragmented due to a focus on individual disorders, or groups classified by specific mechanisms or molecular pathogenesis.

What’s in a name?In WA, 60,000 kids live with a rare disease, and of those about half do not have a diagnosis. At The Kids, researchers are leading the charge in developing a method to identify genetic variations, so that kids like Charlotte can get answers.
