An accurate interdisciplinary assessment and the study of possible comorbidities will ensure a good prognosis of treatment. Furthermore, an important part of the EDD treatment is the psychoeducation to parents/tutors (p/t) from a biopsychosocial point of view.They may clearly understand what happens with their sons and daughters and acknowledge themself as fundamental part in the treatment process.
