Summary
This study looks at how the daily abilities of young children (0-4 years) with rare genetic disorders impact their families' mental health and quality of life. Researchers will assess the child's functional independence and measure parents' depression and well-being through questionnaires. The goal is to help healthcare providers offer better support, such as physiotherapy and counseling, tailored to each family's needs.
