Taking Chiari to School - A Primer for School Nurses 

Taking Chiari to School - A Primer for School Nurses is designed for school nurses responsible for the care of a child with the Chiari malformation type one (CM1) during their school hours. Chiari malformation type one (CM1), although not a common condition, may present challenges for the child in the school setting. Even though most children with CM1 are able to attend school with their peers, some require nursing care and accommodations in the school setting to promote their safety and success. School nurses familiarity with the CM1 diagnosis, symptoms, treatments, and available resources will reinforce parent efforts and provide continuity of care for the child with CM1 in school.
