Managing Students with Chronic Illness: In/Outside the Classroom

There was a time when the doors were closed.

People with chronic illness didn’t have the chance to get a college education.

Whether their illnesses were too difficult to manage, or colleges lacked the proper environment and services, those struggling with their physical health in the past were often denied the opportunity to thrive intellectually.

It is a tremendous credit to the nation’s academic community (not to mention its health-care community) that much has changed today.

Students with chronic illnesses ranging from diabetes and heart disease to cancer and MS now have far greater opportunity to enrich their lives in the classroom.

But that opportunity is created only through significant hard work.

From administrators to clinicians to faculty, those who serve students in need face substantial challenges.

Author, clinician and CEO Patricia Fennell provides essential strategies for meeting those challenges in this insight-filled, 90-minute presentation.

Discover the differences between students with chronic conditions and acute conditions, and learn about their different service needs.

Review the legal requirements for serving chronically ill students, and the basic principles for identifying and providing needed services.

You learn about a four-phase treatment model developed by the presenter that will help you understand and respond to the needs of students in key stages of illness:

• Crisis
• Stabilization
• Resolution
• Integration

You’ll also gain persepctive:

• On the issues from an administrative standpoint – looking at how to create and sustain responsible policy. 
• From a clinical standpoint – getting ideas on how to implement improved service.
• From a pedagogical standpoint – reviewing guidelines for faculty on making reasonable accommodations for students.
