Friends:

Problem...Goes to School

Joan Fleitas, Assistant Professor of Nursing at Fairfield University,
provides this site, designed to offer the child's perspective on what
growing up with medical problems is like. At the heart of the site are the
first person stories of young children and teenagers with medical problems
ranging from leukemia to cystic fibrosis to Crohn's disease. Also included
are a hospital tour, sibling stories, and children's tips for teachers,
nurses, and doctors, among many other features. The design of the site is
optimized for children;  adults can best gain entrance to the content
through the site map. [JS]
