Anne Wilson, CEO of Emerge Australia speaks with Megan, about how ME/CFS and long COVID can affect a child’s ability to stay connected to school and learning. Anne highlights the challenges of delayed diagnosis, limited understanding, and the need for flexible, coordinated support so students are not left behind.
