Medical Professionals

Many students with special needs have complex medical issues, whether it be physical or mental health. Some students can have a variety of health practioners catering to their complex needs. Medical professionals are a part of a students learning support team and it is advisable that the team is aware of any medical interventions, medication or health issues which can affect a students participation at school.

At Tangara School we regularly invite local health practioners to come and visit our school. This is a great way to show them what we do each day and also allows them to see their clients in a school based environment. Generally with individual students we liase with medical professionals through the parent/carer but in some cases, with permission by the parent/carer, we deal directly with the medical professional.
