OIAP SUPPORT GROUP
The group is aimed at parents who have been, or are going
through the child protection system, where the child has, or may possibly have
OI, (Brittle bones). Due to the diagnostic complications that can sometimes
arise with OI, diagnosis can be very difficult to achieve. Accusations can be
direct or indirect, each being equally harmful.
