Abstract
School professionals increasingly encounter students with chronic illnesses in the academic setting. Lacking educator preparedness coupled with common misconceptions associated with many chronic conditions inhibit educators from providing appropriate supports in the school setting. This session will demystify misconceptions and provide a comprehensive overview of educational implications with recommendations for support.
