title: Care of the Student With Special Healthcare Needs: The Development of the WISHeS Unlicensed Assistive Personnel Training.
abstract: Care of the Student With Special Healthcare Needs is a free resource that can assist school nurses in ensuring they are providing the most up-to-date, evidence-based care to children. Although the training module was developed to improve the care provided to Wisconsin children, the module can be accessed by school nurses and unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) across the United States and internationally. School nurses in other states would need to review their state's nurse practice act and school district policies to evaluate which procedures they are allowed to delegate.
