Child's permanent health condition is a major life change for every parent. The purpose of this overview is to gather information regarding the support of a child who requires permanent support.
Proactive government service Supporting a child who requires permanent support due to their medical condition consists of the following:
Identification of the illness and the start of the treatment journey
The detection of the illness and the diagnosis provide an opportunity to begin offering the necessary support to the child, the parent, as well as the family and loved ones.
Assistance for everyday coping from the local government
To support everyday life assistance and intervention must be provided by the local government, with the regional child protection official assessing and coordinating help based on your child’s needs.
State benefits and services
The sate assistance includes a wide range of interventions, such as establishment of a disability, financial benefits, social rehabilitation and the provision of technical aid and medical equipment.
Educational support services
The local government is responsible for ensuring nursery school and formal education for every child and arranging access to necessary support services.
Transition from childhood into adulthood
The transition from childhood to adulthood may require reorganising existing support services, as the benefits and services for children differ from those for adults.
