For parents and family members

The more a parent or family member is involved in a child's development, the more likely a child is to succeed in a habilitation-rehabilitation program. Involvement of parents implies their active participation in all stages of the child's rehabilitation, in particular, during the planning, implementation and re-evaluation of the program. However, this process is complicated if the parent does not have enough knowledge or information about issues related to their child's health.
