Children with autism and other disabilities often require treatment in hospital settings Holding children with disabilities in hospital settings is an under researched and poorly understood subject, it is a difficult topic to discuss with both staff and families
My colleague Professor Andrea Page at Birmingham City University has been focusing on how hospital staff hold children for clinical procedures for an Erasmus project. We are very interested in different cultural perspectives across the EU on this very important subject. Please contact Andrea if you have European knowledge of practices please contact Andrea at [email protected]
