Health Assessment

School nurses play a vital role in supporting children with special health care needs (CSHCN). Comprehensive health assessments help ensure these students’ well-being and academic success. Key aspects include gathering detailed medical histories, evaluating developmental and behavioral health, and creating individualized health care plans (IHPs).

Collaboration with parents, healthcare providers, and school staff is essential to provide cohesive care and necessary accommodations.
