Child’s Checklist for Doctor Visits

Give Your Child a Sense of Control

One of the ways you can help your children cope with juvenile myositis is by giving them a sense of control over their doctor visits and treatments.

Giving children a checklist makes them a part of the process and helps them to remember to address any concerns they might have.

You can use these checklists “as is” or customize them for your child and medical situation.

Season of Gratitude

I am writing to wish you and your family the very best this Holiday Season. This time of year, especially, I am filled with deep appreciation for all that Cure JM families have accomplished to advance our mission, to improve the lives of children living with JM, and to support the doctors and researchers driving better treatments as we fight for a cure.
