The Bureau of Special Health Care Needs is sponsoring a full-day workshop entitled "Educating Children with Special Health Care Needs" Oct. 3 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The workshop will be held at the Southeast Missouri State University Center Ballroom and is free and open to the public.
Presenters will be Ann Todero of Texas Children's Hospital, Judy Frieberg of Missouri Legal Services, Les Hancock, the chief of the bureau of special health care needs, and Beth Mollenkamp of Missouri Parents' Act.
A panel of a local administrator, teacher, school nurse and a parent also will participate. They will examine issues surrounding the legal aspects, funding and best practices for education of children who are medically fragile, chronically ill or dependent on medical supports.
