Reaching Graduation for Students with Chronic Medical Needs
Overview

This round table discussion will explore and share the multi-faceted problem of students with chronic medical needs navigating the complexities of managing competitive health and school requirements, especially focusing on secondary students. In addition to acquiring credits needed, their struggle to have sufficient advocacy for their health and academic needs is central to their success in achieving their graduation goal. School attrition, classroom engagement, and alternatives for traditional classes will be developed and evaluated.
