Having an experienced pediatric nurse with your child all day at school might sound impossible, but it isn’t. Pediatric care providers are a key part of helping children with special needs be happy, safe, and comfortable even when they’re away from home at school all day.
These are just a few of the ways pediatric care can help your special needs child.
Assisting with Personal Care throughout the Day
Depending on your child’s particular special needs, personal care can be a complex task that requires assistance. Helping your child to use the bathroom, cutting up food, and encouraging your child to chew and swallow each bite are all part of what pediatric care providers can manage for your child. As your child’s needs change, so too can the assistance that she receives during the day.
Managing Health Needs throughout the Day
As a special needs child, there are likely medical and health challenges that she faces throughout the day. Whether she needs nursing care related to a trach or to other medical needs, having pediatric nursing care providers right there beside her ensures that she’s got the medical help that she needs the very moment that she needs it most.
Offering Help with Classroom Tasks as Needed
Some of the tasks that other children can handle on their own might be prohibitively difficult or even impossible for your child. Turning on a computer or tablet or finding the right page while the teacher is teaching can be frustrating. Pediatric care providers can help with all of those tasks and others as they arise.
Transportation Help to and From School
Getting safely to and from school is also important. Whether your child rides the bus or needs other help with transportation, particularly if she uses a wheelchair or other assistive mobility devices, pediatric care providers can be there for her. This is especially important if your child isn’t able to communicate verbally with other people. You’ll know that your child’s needs are going to be met all along the way.
Pediatric care providers are able to manage all sorts of situations that might occur throughout the school day for your child. This can also be a huge weight off your mind during the day. You’ll be able to focus better on what you need to do knowing that your child is in excellent, caring hands.
