Disease and illness can have an influence on a person’s growth and development. Some long-term conditions can be passed on by inheritance and can automatically put the child at a disadvantage into starting their life. For example, a child who suffers from an inherited disorder such as cystic fibrosis may miss crucial things like having an education and interacting with other kids. Because of this, this will have a massive impact on their learning and their social life.
