Associations

We saw that all legal dispositions do not cover all needs. Schools in hospitals have reduced staffing. They are not always able to consider its teachers moving too far.

Medical health care insurances do not intervene in cases that are too heavy. But there are associations that can help your sick child. Feel free to contact social workers from the social service of the hospital as they are the usual contacts between you and such organizations.
