A New Training Initiative from Nisai Education and The Young ME Sufferers Trust

Nisai Education is pleased to announce that the first online training seminar for anyone supporting students with ME/CFS will take place on Tuesday 19th September 2006 between 2pm and 3pm. The seminar will be given by former headteacher Jane Colby, Executive Director of the Young ME Sufferers Trust and a major contributor to the Dept of Health Report of 2002. This will be a live, online event open to anyone equipped with a standard computer with a Windows operating system and Internet access.

There are an estimated 25,000 children in the UK suffering from ME/CFS, which is the biggest cause of long-term medical absence in schools; 90% of calls to the Trust's Advice Line concern difficulties with education and this is cited as a key cause of relapse.

Cases often appear in clusters, so if you have one case you're likely to have more and it may be difficult to understand how you can best support these students. In this seminar Jane Colby will cover the following topics:

• The nature of ME/CFS and its neurological effects on brain and body
• How the illness affects life, learning patterns and capability
• How to meet the school's Duty of Care and deliver the child's educational rights
• Adjusting educational provision in order to avoid further damage

The registration fee for this live event is set at £50. All proceeds go to The Young ME Sufferers Trust (registered Charity 1080985).
