Abstract

Although rare in prevalence, Rare Diseases (RDs) have a considerable impact when we realise that, all together, affect a significant percentage of the population. Considering that these diseases substantially reduce the quality of live of the affected children and their families, education professionals need to be alert and prepared to deal with this reality. Regarding the impact of the Rare Disease (RD) in the student´s academic life, the support provided would benefit from a holistic approach from the education team, concerning not only the students and their families’ difficulties and needs, but also their educational potential. Recent studies suggest an educational intervention based on etiology, in order to enhance the teaching-learning process among children with RD.
