Chapter 6 The Impact of Hospitalization on School Inclusion: The Experiences of Two Students with Chronic Illness (p. 83-84)Jeff Bailey and Belinda Barton
This chapter identifies potential issues and problems confronting children and adolescents who have a chronic illness. The two students we interviewed have cystic fibrosis. Their perceptions and feelings about having the illness, taking frequent absences from school for hospitalization and returning to school after these, were examined in terms of the impact of the illness on their inclusion in school. Children with chronic illness confront problems of being included in schools that may be similar to those experienced by children with disabilities, but often with less support and with little recognition of their integration and reintegration needs.
A largely unrecognized group, children with chronic illnesses include those with cancer, haematology problems, haemophilia, cystic fibrosis, congenital cardiac conditions, chronic renal disease, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, sickle cell anaemia and juvenile diabetes. Some of these illnesses are more typical of the disability groups we usually think of in the provision of special education support and programmes, for example spina bifida. Others, however, with low incidence rates and often with invisible impairments, may languish largely unnoticed in the education system. Their needs for support and inclusion, though, may be as great as or exceed those with more obvious conditions.
It is acknowledged in using the terms chronic illness and cystic fibrosis that we are labelling the students, worse, we are medicalizing their condition and creating difference. We recognize this problem and believe that the labelling is justified in this study because of the need for inclusion researchers to cast their net widely to assess the impact of intra-individual characteristics which might be responded to in ways that create exclusive

conditions.
So, in this chapter, we explore the views of a male and a female adolescent who have to live with a potentially disabling, terminal condition. We examine the impact of the illness on them, with particular reference to feelings of alienation and isolation resulting from the illness and from absences from school as a result of repeated, significant periods of hospitalization. Our task in this chapter is to allow the students voices to tell of their concern about having a specific chronic illness in terms of their growth, development, interaction with peers, and progress and life at school.
A Personal Profile
Part of our justification for selecting and categorizing our participants on the basis of a medical condition can best be seen in the work the authors do. We both work for the largest and most respected paediatric hospital in Australia.
Jeff Bailey: I am a Professor of Special Education and currently hold a joint appointment with the University of Western Sydney, Nepean and the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children. At the Hospital, I am the Inaugural Director of a new research centre established in 1996the Childrens Hospital Education Research Institute (CHERI). I have an extensive background in education and particularly in working with children and adolescents with disabilities and learning difficulties. An educator and psychologist by training, I have been a teacher, school principal, special education consultant and academic. My doctoral training was in a university affiliated research centre, the Cincinnati Center for Developmental Disorders. Attached to the Childrens Hospital and the University of Cincinnati, this experience gave me insight into the importance of taking a comprehensive, transdisciplinary view of childrens problems and developments. Recognizing the need to treat children as children, I realize, nevertheless, that to provide the most effective services to children with disabling conditions, it is essential to embrace a wide range of perspectives and disciplines.
Belinda Barton: As Coordinator and Research Associate I was the second appointment to CHERI. I am a psychologist in training, with an honours degree in psychology. My previous research undertaken at other hospitals has been in the areas of depression and anorexic individuals. I have also spent some time working in a refuge, counselling female adolescents who, as a result of past unfortunate experiences, have a number of emotional and behavioural difficulties.
CHERI: The mission of our research institute is to conduct studies into medical, psychological and developmental problems associated with childrens health, especially in relation to the interface between health and education. For this reason, and as CHERI has a particular advocacy role for children with disabling conditions not typically dealt with in special education, the selection of cystic fibrosis as a representative illness for consideration as an inclusion challenge, is logical and important.
