Abstract
Chronic illness is common in children. Approximately 1 child in 10 in the United States has a chronic health condition that requires frequent medical intervention and/or limits his or her activities daily most of the time. Chronic illness can have a significant impact on the child's development, growth, academic achievement, and social and psychological function. Children with chronic physical illness are at increased risk for mental illness. Family members experience psychological, social, and financial stress when a child has a chronic health condition. The child with multiple handicaps brings special challenges to families and health care professionals. Children with chronic conditions are best served when the professionals involved in their care work together.
