'It’s a Teacher’s Dream:' Cook Children’s Partners with Fort Worth Independent School District to Provide School Services for Patients
Whether attending a session in the patient classroom on the first floor, or at the bedside, students receive one-on-one services to better assist them in keeping up with their schoolwork.
For children and teens, school is an important part of life. It’s where they learn, form their social skills and begin to develop a sense of independence. Keeping up with schoolwork feels familiar and can help things seem a little more “normal” during a child’s stay at Cook Children’s. Plus, it eases their fears of falling behind.
Because we recognize the importance of schoolwork for our patients, Cook Children’s partners with Fort Worth Independent School District to provide school services to eligible patients while in the hospital setting. Our teachers work specifically with children and teens who have a chronic or complex diagnosis, are experiencing an extended hospitalization, or have sustained a life-threatening injury.
Whether they’re attending a session at the bedside or in the patient classroom on the first floor of the Fort Worth medical center, students receive one-on-one services to help them keep up with their schoolwork.
