Healthcare Disparities and Children with Neurological Disabilities
Healthcare disparities in children with neurological disabilities refer to the unequal access to necessary healthcare services and support based on factors like socioeconomic status and location. One example is the delayed diagnosis and limited access to communication and structure for a seven-year-old with autism. Another example involves preemies and the disparities they face in receiving appropriate support. Children from resource-poor areas often lack access to identification and support resources, leading to slower development and decreased academic success. Addressing healthcare disparities requires equitable access to support resources, informed management, and combating the stigmatization of disabilities in minority communities.
