For children with cystic fibrosis, the first day of elementary, middle, and high school not only marks the transition toward greater independence, but also greater responsibility in managing their disease.
To help guide you and your child through these transitions, people with CF and their families share experiences and advice on what to expect and how they've adjusted to challenges of growing up with CF.
The "School Transitions for People with CF and Their Families" segments in our "Pathways to Lifelong Health" video series also include perspectives from CF care team members and school personnel. Topics discussed include starting day care, partnering with your child's school, managing treatments with after-school activities, school transitions, learning independence, and transitioning from pediatric to adult care.
