Facilitating the School Experience

For Childhood Cancer Survivors

Wed., March 16th  5-8 pm
 

Gilda's Club of Madison

7907 UW Health Court, Middleton, WI  53562

 

Parents, teachers and guidance counselors - this is an important program for you!  The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, in partnership with Gilda's Club of Madison, is offering a program to help facilitate the return of childhood cancer patients and survivors to school.

Regardless of your child's type of cancer, you'll
learn to identify the potential challenges faced by survivors as they return to school, progress through their education, and grow into adulthood.  Get information on the laws that protect childhood cancer survivors' educational rights and learn how to help meet students' short- and long-term educational needs.  Receive resources from LLS and other organizations to support kids and educational professionals.

Speakers, including oncologist Dr. Diane Puccetti and AFCH pediatric oncology nurse practitioner Sharon Frierdich, will talk about the cognitive and late effects of childhood cancer treatment and how to improve the transition of childhood cancer survivors from clinic to classroom.   

Dinner will be provided and childcare is available upon request.

To Register call, 608-828-8880.  Please register by March 4th.
