Back to School Resources for Duchenne in 2023
Back to School with Duchenne: Navigating this new 2023 school year is a challenge for anyone. But with a condition like Duchenne muscular dystrophy to contend with, back to school can become even more difficult.
To find success while transitioning back to school, it’s important to communicate with teachers, administrators, and staff your needs. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of forms – medication lists, emergency procedures, a letter to the school, and a fatigue log – that can help you convey your child’s unique needs. You can simply download these documents and customize them to your situation.
It’s our hope that by being confident teachers and staff know how to care for your child, you can breathe easier and find less stress during this new school year.
