11: Back to School with a Scoliosis Brace

When kids have a brace for scoliosis, school can be challenging. We’ve noticed a theme of questions coming through our office since school started and we want to help you with this. Today, Dr. Mandy shares some tips to help you have an easier transition back to school with a scoliosis brace. Back to school tips for a scoliosis brace: * A scoliosis brace will not fit in a school locker. You will need to store it somewhere safe if you take it off. Communicate this need with a school admin, teacher, or counselor so you have support and a safe place to store your brace during off times.* Transition times at school can be some of the most challenging. Consider what parts of your day seem to be the hardest for you with your brace, and talk to your parents and school support team for help with solutions.* Brace shirts are not always cute, but there are some better options available online! Contact our office to get our latest suggestions on more clothing to wear with your brace. Thanks for listening to this episode.
