Guidelines for Teachers

Knowing the need for information and guidance for teachers regarding neuromuscular diseases MDA Hellas has collected and presented briefly the ways a teacher could support a student with neuromuscular disease.

This information comes from approved, world-renowned guidelines and also from many years of MDA’s Social Service experience in matters concerning the student with neuromuscular disease in the school environment.

This guide is a necessary tool for the teacher as it includes practical instructions to help a child in everyday life such as using the toilet, moving around in the school environment with or without a wheelchair, the fatigue that may appear any time every day, the difficulty in writing and many other everyday issues that are considered to be given or “easy” for the rest of his classmates.

Teacher’s role is essential in child’s integration in School environment and in “educating” the classroom to treat accordingly their classmate with neuromuscular disease.

In order to understand a situation like this, information and meaningful communication between the child and its family is required.
