School Support for Children with Cancer

Cancer can disrupt a child’s education, making individualized support essential. Children may receive tutoring at home or in the hospital, and schools often stay involved. U.S. law guarantees a free, appropriate public education, and if cancer treatment or survivorship cause learning challenges, children have a right to receive support. This resource helps parents navigate advocacy and includes a sample letter for requesting an IEP or 504 plan.
