These regions have a higher prevalence of genetic disorders, and of Duchenne in particular, compared to the rest of the country<sup>1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>Research has suggested a link between Duchenne diagnoses and brain disorders, which impact cognitive abilities and the learning process of affected individuals<sup>2<\/sup>. This, alongside the difficulties caused by physical disability, mean that far too often students with Duchenne are not having their needs met in school.<\/p>\n<p>Using funding from the STRIVE grant, ACDM will be launching PROJECT FACILIATE. This project will focus on promoting greater school inclusion, facilitating the formal learning process for students with Duchenne, and offering participating individuals greater autonomy and opportunities to develop academically and socially.<\/p>\n<p>Through the use of neuropsychological assessments, ACDM will provide students with Duchenne individualized tasks and objectives. This bespoke approach acknowledges the unique needs of each participant and will aim to provide students with greater career prospects, more meaningful social interactions and relationships, and improved literary and academic performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<br \/>\n<sup>1<\/sup>TEIXEIRA et al.
