Conditions
Summary
Rare diseases are often synonymous with difficulties for sufferers, whether physical, mental or social. Patients suffering from rare diseases face specific problems, such as the long wait for a diagnosis, the geographical distance between the rare disease reference center and home, and the isolation created by this very disabling disease... Children suffering from rare genetic diseases have difficulty accessing higher education, but above all in finding an internship or work-study placement, due to the rarity of their disability. The aim of this study, entitled "Imagine La Suite", is to assess the difficulties encountered by young people with rare genetic diseases and disabilities in their search for vocational and university training or employment.
