How to talk to your child about Duchenne – the early years

We know how hard it is for Duchenne parents, carers and family members to find the ‘right’ words to talk with children about Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Watch the recording of our session with crisis and bereavement expert, Dr David Schonfeld from March 2022.

The session will help you and your family find the words, and to understand more about yours and your child’s feelings and thought processes.
