Chronic Health and Disability
A student manages Type 1 diabetes throughout the school dayâchecking glucose levels, calculating insulin doses, and navigating a condition that affects concentration, energy, and activity. Another lives with epilepsy, uncertain when the next seizure might occur and how peers will react. Another manages chronic pain that teachers can't see but that shapes every school experience. Across Canadian schools, students with chronic health conditions and disabilities navigate systems not always designed to accommodate their needs.
