This research involved 335 teachers in a rural area. Their stories of the inclusion of children with special health care needs in the classroom underline the need for healthcare providers to engage in teaching school personnel about issues in child health. The teachers tell stories about their classroom experiences and the medical needs of the children in a rural setting. Laws leading to the inclusion mandate are discussed. There is also a description of the medical diagnoses seen in rural classrooms and a discussion about the issues involved in inclusion.
