When a child lives at home

When a child lives at home

Some children with MSS live at home, others live in special care facilities. This depends on how much special care and support is needed, but also on the preference of the parents and how much care they are able to take upon themselves.

Children living at home can start going to a special day care facility from 2 years onward. There are different types of day care in different countries, for example:

• A specialized (medical) children's day care centre;
• remedial educational day centres;
• children's rehabilitation centres.

Which form of day care is best suited depends on the child's (physical) symptoms.
