Informing Your Child's School of Brachial Plexus Injury

Does your child’s school have adequate information regarding his/her brachial plexus injury?  Do the teachers and administrators know which arm is affected, what activities your child should avoid and what activities he/she might need help with?

To help parents provide their child’s school with the information they need, the Brachial Plexus Palsy Foundation has created a form which parents can fill out and give to teachers, nurses, therapists and anyone else involved in the child’s daily life. 

Because each child’s injury is unique, the form has been created so that parents need only check what applies to their particular child. The information sheet also comes with a glossary of terms, which can help others to better understand brachial plexus palsy injuries.
  
Check out the form here.
