Welcome
School Nurse!
The responsibilities of school nurses working with
students with disabilities have grown enormously since 1975 when Congress passed the Education for All Handicapped
Children Act and, its subsequent amendments as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Forty years ago, for
example, a school nurse usually had very little contact with students with disabilities and their families. Today, however,
because of congressional acts, children with various disabilities from birth through age 21 can attend any school program and
use the services a school nurse can provide to help him or her to have a quality educational school program.
