In the clinical care of children who have a disability, the processes of deciding with children can present different challenges. Children who have a disability may have limited ability to understand the decision to be made or difficulties communicating their preferences. In this episode, paediatrician Dr Giuliana Antolovich reorientates us to misunderstandings about disability which are often created by preconceived notions of what children with disabilities can do. She challenges us to centre the child in the consultation, listen carefully to their preferences and values, and include these in medical decisions that will affect the child. This approach is respectful to the child and opens a rich and surprising dialogue with them and their families. Host: Prof John Massie. Guest: Dr Giuliana Antolovich. Ethicist: A/Prof Ros McDougall.
