Description

"The link between a child's health and his or her performance in school has been firmly established. What isn't always clear are the best ways to promote student health to improve student success. The long-awaited new edition of this AAP manual provides pediatric health care professionals with guidelines for communicating with schools and developing health programs for school-aged children, with a focus on health and illness management as they relate to a child's educational problems and potential. Specific health issues are also addressed, including obesity, learning and discipline problems, chronic illness, school sports, STDs, pregnancy, child abuse, drug abuse, and more."--(www.aap.org)
