Global Progress Towards Early Childhood Development for Children with Disabilities, 2013-2023

July 2023 – This article published in BMJ Paediatrics Open by Global Research on Developmental Disabilities Collaborators (GRDDC) examines the progress made on the SDG commitment to leave no one behind by UNICEF in the last decade as the lead UN agency for child health and development globally.
