ABSTRACT
Some children with severe burns may have difficulty following therapeutic recommendations after discharge from a burn center. Noncompliance may result in complications that affect function, surgical management, community reintegration, and successful reentry into school. We present a case study in which a child with significant compliance issues was managed in a coordinated interdisciplinary model. This model extended from acute recovery through reintegration into the classroom. A behavior-modification program was implemented across different levels of care. Educational reentry was facilitated by including a transitional period in a special-needs classroom in a freestanding special-needs school. Requirements for using educational resources to which some children are legally entitled are reviewed. Rehabilitation services that interface with the educational system for children with burns may improve outcomes as these children reintegrate into the community.
