EACD2022 - Special Calls

The views of the individuals with a childhood-onset disability, their families, friends and carers are extremely important to EACD. We want to work together with service users and their families to make sure that we are meeting individual needs and providing the treatment, care and support that people rightly expect and deserve. Users and families can provide invaluable insight and information about their current needs, challenges and barriers they experience in their lives, and identify relevant areas and/or challenges for researchers to explore. The template of a ‘User & Family Needs’ Abstract is less formal than a scientific abstract. Nevertheless, it should include at least: (i) a title; and (ii) identify relevant areas and/or challenges for researchers to explore based on their current needs. The abstract should include no more than 250 words. Furthermore, at least one of the authors should be an individual with a childhood-onset disability, a family member, or a close other concerned.
