Arthritis in Childhood

Last Updated: February 2010

Arthritis and related musculo-skeletal conditions are the most common chronic and long-term medical illnesses and are the leading cause of disability among people aged 15 years and older. There is no known cause, and no cure.

These Speaking from Experience clips offer first-hand accounts from children living with arthritis and their parents. They discuss the ways in which it has impacted their lives and the ways they manage the condition. It was produced in partnership with Arthritis Victoria.
