I think a focus on early intervention is very important for families. Often there's a gap between diagnosis and getting treatment. There's a wait-list time. There's much that can be done during that time in terms of education, in terms of support. Even linking parents to peer support during that time would be helpful so they could start with the process of treatment. Really to demystify treatment, much of it is around feeding your child, but how to do that is what parents need education on. I think if we focused on early intervention and got to families at the very beginning of the diagnosis, a lot of change could happen.
