Abstract

This article reviews the findings of a comprehensive national study of the social effects of haemophilia in New Zealand, with reference to the educational implications for children with haemophilia. However, these implications go well beyond New Zealand and many apply to children with other medical conditions and disabilities. Although children with haemophilia do make some special demands on schools, the main argument of the report is that schools which provide socially and physically safe environments for their students’ will also meet many of the needs of children with haemophilia.
