A Teachers Guide for Pupils with Brain Tumours
A study we carried out with the Children's Unit of the Royal Marsden Hospital found the guidance resources for pupils who have been treated for a brain tumour were very limited so this book was written to try and fill the gap. It is designed to help teachers with the children's reintegration into school after treatment.
