Education Toolkit

for Patients & Survivors Returning to School
​Missed school days and late effects can make education challenging for pediatric cancer patients and survivors. This is why ASK has created an education toolkit to help guide parents, teachers and doctors in creating a plan to support the child in the classroom. This toolkit was made possible with a grant from the Virginia Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

article written in partnership with Better2gether RVA, by Debbie Glasser, PhD

  • Will the 504 Plan or IEP, Individualized Education Plan, be followed in the virtual setting?
  • Will the accommodations and services on the educational plans be addressed in the virtual setting?
  • If the virtual setting has the entire class participating, how can my child’s special needs be addressed, particularly if my child needs individual or small group instruction?
  • As a parent, how can I help my child with instructional material when I am not a certified teacher and do not know the curriculum?
  • How is it possible to keep a child with attention issues, focused and on task in the virtual setting for 4-6 hours a day?​
