MSA Trust

Support for Children

My Special Activity book – all about multiple system atrophy’ is a resource created for children aged 4-11 years old to support them through a loved ones diagnosis with MSA.

 

MSA is a complex disease with different symptoms that children may have noticed and which may have caused changes within the household. The book aims to address children’s questions in an interactive way that they can work thorough at their own pace. Topics covered within the book include ‘What does MSA mean?’, the most common symptoms of MSA, ‘How you’re feeling’ and how to explain MSA to other people.

 

 

Some of the activities can be completed by children independently but others will need family members and friends involvement. There will be stickers to use as we know how much children love these! We have also included some guidance notes to assist any adults who may be supporting a child to use the book.
