The Vancouver Coastal Health Authority and the Vancouver Board of Education have developed services for students with nursing, physiotherapy and occupational therapy needs. The level and source of support varies with the type of health care the student requires.
The goal of the Vancouver Regional Pediatric
Team is to help children living in Vancouver to lead active, healthy
lives in their schools and communities.
Support may include:
Assessing the needs of a child
Developing individualized Health Care Plans to
guide staff in caring for students in the classroom environment who have
complex health needs
Training support staff to provide direct care to
students
Supporting students in accessing and
participating in the school environment
Referral Process:
Students are eligible for this service when they have health care
needs or physical disabilities. Referral for service can be made through
School-Based Team and/or nurse.
