“Families with kids with childhood dementia are facing a lot of similar challenges. I think the key thing for everybody is to realise these kids by themselves are almost forgotten. More awareness can make some really massive differences to the kids' lives and the consistency of support that they receive, and help them live their best lives.”
- John, dad to Eleanor and Joshua who both have childhood dementia
