Summary

Excluding children with tracheostomies from school is illegal and discriminatory. A model program was developed to address school admission challenges and facilitate the integration of these students into the school system.

Background:

  • Children with tracheostomies face significant barriers to school admission.
  • School exclusion is often based on liability concerns, inadequate staffing, and fear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a model program addressing challenges for children with tracheostomies in schools.
  • To facilitate the integration of tracheostomy patients into educational settings.

Main Methods:

  • A collaborative model program was developed at Children's Hospital National Medical Center.
  • The program aimed to resolve conflicts between schools and families.

Main Results:

  • The program facilitated the assimilation of children with tracheostomies into the school system.
