Children with chronic illnesses and disability are surviving prematurity, trauma, and congenital disorders once thought to be fatal and are becoming a larger part of core nursing practice. Increasingly, these children are being cared for in their homes. However, traditional nursing educational programs do not offer courses in the management of children with chronic conditions, nor do they provide clinical experiences in home settings. This article discusses the need for courses that increase awareness, sensitivity, and knowledge about children and families with special needs and suggests a family-centered approach for preparing nursing students to provide home care for children with disabilities that focuses on the strengths and abilities of the children and their families to manage their own situations. Students are encouraged to “think S for success”— symptoms, safety, sequellae, strengths, and satisfaction. These five Ss provide an easy system for remembering what is important in chronic care management.
