Empowering support: ASK's resources for parents, caregivers & educators of children with cancer. Education toolkit, videos, webinars, and more! RESOURCES Empowering parents, caregivers, and teachers with the know-how to best support a child with cancer. Whether at home, in clinic, or in the classroom, there are a lot of things to learn when it comes to supporting a child with cancer. A childhood cancer diagnosis introduces a maze of brand-new medical terms, unfamiliar routines and procedures, and many new and overwhelming emotions. It can also greatly impact educational needs during treatment and into survivorship. ASK is here to offer a helping hand. Education Toolkit Missed days and late-term side effects from treatment are just some challenges kids with cancer face with school. We designed our education toolkit to support our kids every step of the way as they transition back to the classroom. Learn More Video Library Learn the ins and outs of the ASK clinic, ways to best support your child from diagnosis, throughout treatment and beyond, how to cope with the unique emotions that come with caring for a child with cancer, and much more.

We just need YOU, our dedicated advocates, to come and share your story with legislators. Our Advocacy Day at the Virginia General Assembly in Richmond will be Thursday, February 5, 2026! Our Success Thanks to the tireless efforts of our advocates across the state, children with cancer were included in the 2022 state budget for the first time in Virginia’s history. Our collective work resulted in a new education support navigator program at each of the Commonwealth’s five primary pediatric cancer treatment centers. These navigators are serving as a bridge between a child’s medical and school teams, helping them get back to school with the support that they need to be successful.

Enhance your child's education through ASK's comprehensive support services. From tutoring to graduation ceremonies, preschool through high school, we're here for every educational step. EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT SUPPORT Cancer can greatly impact a child’s education at any age: from time out of school, a transition back to the classroom, or effects from treatment that make learning more challenging. ASK provides educational support from preschool through high school and the transition to adulthood. We are here to make sure your child has the extra help they need. Education Support Navigators In 2022, the state legislature allocated state funds specifically to support childhood cancer for the first time. These funds allow ASK to provide an Education Support Navigator at each pediatric cancer treatment center in Virginia. Our navigators help bridge the gap between the medical team and school team. They help patients and survivors stay on grade level, and receive the accommodations they need to be successful. Find My Navigator Education Support Navigators In-Person and Online Tutoring In-Person Tutoring In-person tutoring provides a certified teacher to help one-on-one with schoolwork. They’ll meet weekly with your child at a public space, like the library, to provide learning support in a way that your child will understand. In-person tutoring is currently only available in Richmond and Fredericksburg. Online Tutoring Online tutoring is a great option if your child has an IEP and needs some extra help with their schoolwork, but it needs to be in your home and on your schedule. ASK’s online tutoring program matches your child with a carefully chosen academic mentor from our partner, The Brain Bodega, to help with schoolwork and other study skills. They’ll meet online with your child up to twice a week to provide school support in a way that works for your child. If your child receives treatment in Virginia, contact the Education Support Navigator at your hospital or clinic for more information. Tutoring First STEP Preschool The First STEP (Socialization Through Enriched Play) preschool class is a special class at First Baptist Preschool just for our ASK families. Our teachers look for both typical developmental milestones as well as late effects from treatment to help our kids get the best start possible. We take extra cleaning precautions to keep our kids healthy and safe. Our focus is to prepare students for a successful kindergarten experience with skills like sharing, listening, focusing, and cooperating. First STEP Preschool Graduation Ceremony Graduating from high school is no small achievement, and we proudly honor our graduates each spring in an ASK graduation ceremony. Whether your ASK kid went through treatment when they were ten years old or are going through treatment during their senior year of high school, we want to celebrate them. Family, friends, educators, and healthcare providers come together to celebrate this important milestone. ASK Graduation Young Adult Support It’s not unusual for teens and young adults who have been through childhood cancer to feel different from other kids their age. Their experience may have changed them emotionally, academically, and socially. They might not take the typical path of graduating from high school, going to college, and finding a career. Sometimes it’s easier for another adult to ask the questions that help guide them forward into adulthood. Michelle Jarnagin-Johnson, ASK Young Adult Support Coordinator, will talk with your teen or young adult to see where they are in their journey, what their goals are, and what they might need to achieve them. She can assist and connect them with: SAT prep College prep workshop Driving school Community college, vocational school, or college tours Graduation Scholarships Community resources Job readiness skills Whatever your child’s needs and interests are, Michelle is here to help.
