The Necessary Role of School Nurses in Improving Inclusive Educational Spaces

About the Webinar

All students deserve to access educational spaces in a safe and meaningful way. Inclusion of students with disabilities and special health care needs in all school settings requires significant planning from a well-informed team. School nurses play an integral role in that planning, but sometimes are looped in very late - or not at all.

Join Technology Assisted Children’s Home Program for a look at the ways school nurses can improve school safety and accessibility for children with disabilities and special health care needs.

Learning Objectives

• Review the history of educational rights for students with disabilities
• Identify planning documents that schools can use to ensure all students are included in educational environments
• Gain understanding of the complex “care map” students and their families are navigating
• Interact with resources and tools to improve school nurses’ ability to support and advocate for their students with disabilities and special health care needs
