Biographical note
Project Summary:With breakthroughs in genetics occurring all the time, many scientists and clinicians have begun to express cautious optimism about new treatments and potentially even cures for genetic disorders becoming available in the near future. The short films created as part of this project help younger children appreciate the profound implications that this could have for families affected by genetic disorders. Targeting key areas of the reception and primary curricula, these touching personal accounts are designed to move and inspire young children about the promise of genetics research through an understanding of how genetic disorders impact on the lives of children their own age.
