RETURNING TO SCHOOL

For children who have been out of school for a period of time or are returning to school with different abilities or changes in their appearance can be stressful and emotional.

A growing number of hospitals are providing "Back to School Programs" designed to assist with this process. Ask your medical care team to help you obtain this type of help if it is available.

There are descriptions available online of things to think about to help your child to return to school.

Washington University Medical Center in St Louis, MO has information on their program and resources for children with cancer.
