Back to School with Childhood Cancer:
a professional conference for educators and administrators
Childhood cancer can make school a challenge. Missed school days, cognitive late effects from treatment can make it difficult for our young patients and survivors to keep up with their peers. In addition to direct tutoring support, ASK offers an educator conference to help teachers, school nurses and administrators learn about childhood cancer, common late effects and how to support patients, survivors and siblings in the classroom.
