Parents’ Corner: Learning about Education
Chemotherapy can lead to memory loss and troubles in school for months and years after treatment ends. If you have a school-aged child like I do, it is a good idea to talk to their school about setting up some special accommodation for her or him before they come back into an education setting. Many hospitals have staff that can help parents set up a meeting with the child's school to explain what Chemobrain is like and what educators can expect. The school nurse is also a great resource at this point.In up coming I'll post about Special Ed. 504s and IEPs within the United States education system.
