The session will focus on the successful strategies to support a child with refractory headache in the school setting. Missed school days have short-term and long-term academic impact, and the provider plays a key role in guiding families on options to provide support. The process for securing school-based services can vary by school and state. This session will review practical tips on how to approach this topic with patients and how to create standardization within your clinic to support 504Plan and IEP evaluations.
Learning Objectives:
Troubleshoot common challenges experienced by patients in the school setting.
Know pediatric headache statistics in prevalence and headache related disability.
Prepare and empower adolescent patients and families on how to successfully navigate school support (504Plan, IEP and homebound instruction.)
