It can be difficult for children and young people with ME/CFS to attend school in a typical way. They can often have difficulties with:

  • attending a full day of school
  • concentrating during lessons
  • working at the same speed as their peers
  • the classroom environment

Contact us at CCS-TR.therapyreferrals@nhs.net for information and advice to help understand the best way to support students with ME/CFS.
