Guidelines for Growing: An action plan for parents of children with bleeding disorders (Ages Birth-4)
A component of the National Hemophilia Foundation’s (NHF’s) Steps for Living Program, funded in part by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is Guidelines for Growing, a series of age-specific brochures (targeting ages 0-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-15, and 16-18) adapted from the NHF’s Medical and Scientific Advisory Council (MASAC). Each brochure focuses on social and developmental milestones specific to the general age range of a child or young person with a bleeding disorder. This resource is designed to be used in conjunction with the HTC provider team to guide the parent or young person through transitional periods.
