Chronically ill children in schools: programmatic and policy directions for the future

D K Walker. Rheum Dis Clin North Am. 1987 Apr.

Abstract

Children with arthritic diseases and other chronic illnesses will need some form of "special" consideration by the educational system at some point in their school careers. There is great variability among schools, school systems, and states in how the problems of educating chronically ill children are handled and how the state and federal special education laws and health codes are implemented. This paper reviews current practices and makes recommendations for improvements in school-based services to children with chronic illnesses.
