Join us at 11 am on Wednesday, 25th September 2024, for a special “Paintalks” webinar during Kids in Pain Week, designed specifically for parents and carers of children living with chronic pain. With children in pain missing an average of 22% of school—equivalent to one day a week or two weeks a term—this session is crucial for families navigating the educational journey. We’ll be speaking with Megan Gilmour, CEO of Missing Schools, to explore what chronic pain means for school attendance, the regulations and rights under the Disability Act, and the essential role of schools in supporting these students.

Whether you’re feeling lost or unsure about how to advocate for your child’s needs, this session will empower you with the knowledge and tools to ensure your child receives the support they deserve. Learn about necessary school adjustments, your child’s rights, and how to create a collaborative plan that helps your child thrive both academically and emotionally.
