Episode #7: DMD and transition from paediatric to adult care
In this episode, Dr. Saskia Houwen, paediatric rehabilitation physician from the Netherlands, talks about the challenges boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) may face as they become young adults. The transition from paediatric to adult care is one of them, when the boys typically assume responsibility for the coordination of their own care. Dr. Houwen talks about the need for flexibility in the transition phase and the importance to start this process early to help the boys build their independence. Her wish is for boys with DMD to dream big; but they must make known and seek support to address the challenges in all areas of their lives to make their dreams reality.
