    The VISION of the SVARD Committee is growth of individual SVARD workgroups: scientific progress in optimizing, understanding, care, and outcome in these diseases.

    The MISSION of the SVARD Committee is improve outcome for children with scleroderma, vasculitis, auto-inflammatory or other rare disease. The diseases studied by the SVARD committee are too rare to be independent. Many are associated with major morbidity, some with mortality. All impact normal childhood quality of life and function. So, there is a need to improve the identification, management, and outcome of these diseases.
    The group working on Sjogren’s Syndrome is developing classification criteria for juvenile Sjogren’s syndrome. They have met with leaders of the recently developed adult ACR-EULAR classification criteria, and have organized an international collaboration to move forward on this project. They will use data from the legacy CARRA registry and potentially other data sources for their study. Once classification criteria are developed, they can move forward with developing CTPs and disease assessment tools. Leaders of this group are Scott Lieberman and Jay Mehta

  • Sjogren's Foundation Mission Award

    Sjogren's Foundation

    Honored to receive their Mission Award for my work in bringing awareness to Pediatric Sjogren's The significance of this award is that Pediatric Sjogren's is publicly acknowledged as a severe disease that impacts the quality of life in children. My work has been grassroots. In 2017, I connected with another parent in Philadelphia who has a son with Sjogren's. We formed a support network of families which has grown to over 200 families across the world. With 300 documented cases, we have…

    Honored to receive their Mission Award for my work in bringing awareness to Pediatric Sjogren's The significance of this award is that Pediatric Sjogren's is publicly acknowledged as a severe disease that impacts the quality of life in children. My work has been grassroots. In 2017, I connected with another parent in Philadelphia who has a son with Sjogren's. We formed a support network of families which has grown to over 200 families across the world. With 300 documented cases, we have connected with the majority, but honestly, we know there are many more undiagnosed children we have yet to meet. As a group of parents brought together because of medically fragile children, we conquer everything. The social-emotional aspects of a child living with a chronic debilitating disease and making school plans and accommodations. What to do in the middle of the night when you feel you are the only one in the world up with worry and caring for your child, doctor visits and patient advocacy, and taking new parents with newly diagnosed children under our wings when they become paralyzed with fear and confusion to take the next steps.
