Supporting Children with Medical Conditions

The book provides a reference to medical conditions most commonly found amongst school-aged children. Each condition is clearly described in terms of causes, symptoms and treatment, and the authors accessibly explain the educational implications – what teachers and support staff should be aware of, how they can minimise pupils’ difficulties in school and maximise access to the curriculum. Fully updated with the 2014 SEND Code of Practice, this text will help professionals be more effective in supporting learners in a variety of settings. It also provides materials for in-house training sessions, and features useful checklists, templates and photocopiable/downloadable resources.
