Hi

I am a parent of two children with mascular distrophy. There are no support groups here like they have in west or US.

One thing can help you though, you can enroll the childs name in Handicap association , and get some facilities like special parking sticker etc. Hamad hospital too gives special cards for these children.

Best of luck.
