A review of school reintegration programs for children with cancer Academic Article

abstract

• This article reviews the literature on school reintegration programs for children with cancer. Areas covered include recent legislative mandates regarding schooling for chronically ill children, the importance of school attendance, the effects of cancer on children's social and academic adjustment, and difficulties in returning to school. Descriptive articles are reviewed to synthesize the literature on best practices for reintegration programs. Existing programs are categorized into three groups and reviewed: school personnel education programs, peer education programs, and comprehensive programs. A discussion of research issues highlights design difficulties in the field. Suggestions are given for school psychologists working with chronically ill children. 2000 Society for the Study of School Psychology. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
