Publisher's Synopsis
SNAAP -- School Nurse Arthritis Advocacy Program -- is designed specifically to help school nurses deal effectively with JRA -- juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Highly beneficial in regard to all chronic illnesses, the comprehensive SNAAP package consists of a manual, video, and complimentary poster. Affecting 135,000 to 200,000 children in the United States, JRA is a systemic inflammatory disease that causes joints to swell, thereby producing loss of motion and function. Children with this disease often need special consideration regarding their daily performance within school parameters. The SNAAP package explains -- and offers a variety of solutions for handling -- the needs of these exceptional children.
