Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Center
School Services
The goal of the Patient Education Program at Texas’s Children’s Cancer and Hematology Center is to help patients and families navigate the educational challenges associated with pediatric cancer. Through collaboration with families, school staff, and medical teams, we work to identify needs and supports that will improve each patient’s educational experience.
School is an integral activity in the lives of children. A child attends school to gain knowledge and to connect with peers. Developing these social and academic ties provides opportunities to gain experiences and skills that are essential to their emotional and cognitive development.
