In Pakistan, children with developmental disorders face three issues in accessing the care they need. First, the lack of awareness and stigma surrounding developmental disorders, which means that children are often seen as burdens to their family, and discriminated against in their communities. Second, poor awareness of the condition in family members and front-line health providers leads to a delay in recognition and inappropriate management. Third, a weak healthcare system and low public spending on health meaning children aren’t hooked into strong referral networks, and where specialist services are rare, especially in rural areas. Family Networks (FaNs) for Kids is a supportive network that uses technology to identify and train families and caregivers who have a child with development delays to help them care better for their children. FaNs aims at breaking down stigma and closing the care gap for children with developmental disorders in rural areas of Pakistan. FaNs does this by organising, training and empowering the families of affected children into self-sustaining networks who are able to care for their own children and advocate for their needs to the community and the health system. Through the platform of FaNs, we offer WHO endorsed Caregivers Skills Training Programme for the caregivers of children with developmental disorders. The training programme is based on principles of applied behaviour analysis, developmental science, social communication interventions, positive parenting, and self-care methods. The programme aims to improve (a) the child’s development, specifically in regard to promoting social communication and adaptive skills and reducing disruptive and challenging behavior; (b) the caregiver–child relationship; (c) the child’s participation and inclusion in daily home and community activities; (d) the caregiver’s role and functioning, by promoting self-confidence, parenting skills and knowledge, and coping skills and psychological well-being; and (e) create self-sustaining ‘family networks’ led by champion caregivers within local communities to increase caregivers access to community resources and referral pathways to ensure optimal care.
