How Can Pediatricians Support School Participation?
Pediatricians play a crucial role in supporting school participation. Here are some ways they can help: - Early Identification: Detecting issues like learning disabilities or chronic illnesses early can lead to better management and support. - Collaboration with Schools: Working closely with teachers and school staff to develop individualized education plans (IEPs) for children with special needs. - Parental Guidance: Educating parents about the importance of school attendance and how to support their child's education at home. - Referrals: Providing referrals to specialists, such as child psychologists or occupational therapists, when necessary.
