Emerge Australia recently hosted an information and question-and-answer session with Megan Gilmour, co-founder and CEO of MissingSchool. The session explored practical ways families and schools can work together to support children and young people living with ME/CFS or long COVID who require reasonable adjustments and/or miss school often or for prolonged periods.
Attendees had the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about supporting students to remain connected to education.
