Miejsce rodziny w procesie wspomagania rozwoju dziewcząt z zespołem Turnera

Abstract

Diagnosing Turner’s syndrome is currently perceived as a complex therapeutic problem whose solution requires not only multi-specialist and integrated help of professionals but also engaging the families of girls who were diagnosed with the syndrome into the process of their development. Normalization of the girls’ developmental processes, the development of their interests and abilities as well as social integration depend on the parents and siblings of children with Turner’s syndrome. Thus, the key task of specialists is to provide the parents of a girl suffering from Turner’s syndrome with the knowledge related to the developmental prognosis, possibilities and limitations of the child as well as supporting them in taking care of their child. Only then one can count on a conscious participation of the family in the process of treatment, rehabilitation, and education of a person with Turner’s syndrome.
