School and Career Support

A diagnosis of cancer is a life-altering event.  Often the patient is removed from their school or career and may be too sick to attend or complete the work. 

The school and career support program provides academic and career support at the time of diagnosis with periodic checks throughout the patient’s treatment and beyond. 

IEP’s (Individual Education Plans which are designed to support cognitive deficits and learning issues), and 504 plans (provide a blueprint of individual support services needed), empower the school to provide assisted learning, tools and resources, and remove barriers in the classroom and the school community.

Scholarship information is provided for those wishing to further their education, and career planning and support resources/referrals are offered as well.  Our School specialist will:

• Advocate for patients during IEP’s (Individual Education Plans which are designed to support cognitive deficits and learning issues), or 504 plans (provide a blueprint of individual support services needed)
• Arrange home tutoring
• Provide scholarship and academic support letters
• Empower the schools to provide assisted learning, tools and resources, and remove barriers in the classroom and the school community.
