【企画・趣旨のねらい】
Due to the COVID—19 pandemic that began in 2020, a state of emergency was declared, and schools were closed in Japan;severe restrictions on going out were imposed in various countries around the world.
The COVID—19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the medical care and support for children with developmental disorders, and each country has had its difficulties, responses, and innovations.
In this symposium, doctors who are clinically treating children with developmental disorders and neurological disorders in Japan, four countries in Southeast Asia, and the United States will talk about the confusion and difficulties in medical treatment and support caused by the COVID—19 pandemic, as well as their efforts and current status in responding to these difficulties. We would like to take this opportunity to learn from the situation in each country and think about how to treat and support children with developmental disorders in the‘with—/post—COVID—19—era, and how to prepare for emergencies such as the COVID—19 pandemic.
