If your child has orthopedic impairments, either from surgery or from birth, you’re probably already familiar with all the ways that complicates their life. Having help from pediatric home health care providers can help to reduce some of these challenges and even more. Their experience can be exactly what your child and your family need in order to know that she’s in good hands, even away from home.

Seating and Special Seating Arrangements

Depending on the particular orthopedic impairments your child is facing, seating might be a challenge. Your child may need help with getting situated in available seating or in moving from a wheelchair or scooter to specific seating. If your child requires a specific type of seat or a specific seating arrangement, it might be necessary to talk to the teacher or the school about how to put that in place.

Transportation Difficulties

There may be difficulties with transporting your child to and from school, as well. Having a pediatric home health care provider with your child can help to ensure that she’s safe as she travels to school and back home again later. If there are any issues, you’ll know about them right away.

Trouble Participating in Some Classes

Some classes may present an obvious participation problem, like gym glass, for instance. Others might be difficult if your child has to hold specific equipment or needs to do something that requires fine motor skills. These issues might be difficult enough that classroom participation is significantly impacted.

Needing Assistive Technology

If your child requires specific assistive technology to communicate, to navigate, or to handle other tasks, that can present problems at school. Teachers may not be as familiar with that equipment as you would like, and that can slow things down for your child. Pediatric home health care specialists who know and understand your child’s needs can help much more quickly.

Pushing Themselves Too Hard

Another problem that you might not think about is that your child may push herself too much while at school. Pacing herself can be a big part of ensuring that she’s able to keep going all day. If she’s trying to do too much, it can help to have someone there with her who understands the limitations she faces so that she’s not exceeding her personal limits.

Having help from pediatric home health care specialists both at home and at school can help children to meet these challenges head on.
