Guide
for Teachers and Students with Juvenile
Idiopathic Arthritis
 Arthritis NSW has compiled a guide to
communicate to teachers the real needs
of young people
with arthritis. The students may appear
to be like other students but in reality
their joints are aching and inflamed
and they feel fatigued. For any student with a chronic disease
it is important to be able to self-manage
and be as independent as possible. This
can be achieved by the student, parents
and teachers working together as a team
to formulate and review an individual action
plan
The Guide takes teachers through issues
which may arise and looks at possible actions
as well as describing the process of developing
an action plan. Additionally, it covers
principles for equal opportunity within
education for the student with JIA and
covers areas such as special consideration
for exams.
