Deciding with Children 3: Deciding with young children
from Essential Ethics Hosted by The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne
This time focusing on involving young children and early adolescents in medical decision making, we explore the transition from deciding for children to deciding with children. We consider child development and neurobiology, what things are important to children, what we can offer in terms of choices and what to do if we have to override a child’s preference or decision. We also explore decision-making for children with developmental issues, such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). Host: Prof John Massie. Guests: Dr Daryl Efron, RCH general paediatrician, and Prof Lynn Gillam, Children's Bioethics Centre, RCH.
