Did you know that many children with developmental challenges, especially girls, are often overlooked and underdiagnosed? This can lead to a lifetime of missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential. Our "Listen to Every Voice" campaign aims to change that.
Why This Matters
Gender Bias in Diagnosis: Girls often mask their symptoms, leading to underdiagnosis and delayed support. It’s time to recognize and address these differences.
Parental Input: Parents know their children best, yet their voices are often marginalized in the developmental assessment process. We advocate for balanced assessments that value parental insights.
Inadequate Training: Many healthcare professionals lack the training to recognize developmental issues in girls. We call for comprehensive training programs to bridge this gap.
Early Intervention: Early support can transform lives. We push for policies that ensure timely and effective interventions in schools.
Funding and Resources: Schools need adequate funding to provide the necessary support for children with developmental challenges. We demand increased investment in our children's futures.
