In order to assist as many young people with ME/CFS and FMS, the National ME/FM Action Network is posting the first two chapters of "TEACH-ME" on our website. This will assist educators in understanding ME/CFS and FMS in young people and provides basic guidelines for educational planning. However, some accommodations are complex. Educational implications and strategies for planning accommodation for young people with these illnesses are dealt with in detail in later chapters.
TEACH-ME has been sent to a number of School Boards.
In our desire to make "TEACH-ME" available to as many as possible, the price of the updated and expanded second edition of "TEACH-ME" will remain unchanged at only $22.00.
