When managing a condition such as scoliosis, returning to school after the summer holidays can be a challenge. The Scoliosis Association UK have put together some first hand accounts from people who’ve been in this position, and their parents. You can see an excerpt below:
‘I was allowed to use a laptop in class because writing by hand took me longer.‘
‘I was given a locker so that I didn’t have to carry all my books, but I also used a backpack instead of a satchel, so the weight was evenly distributed instead of on one side of my body.’
‘If lessons were upstairs, I would go up and stay in class during breaks to prevent me going up and down, or I had my work brought downstairs and I worked in the library.‘
