Educational Achievement
Partnership Program
Advancing long-term educational achievement in children with chronic illness through collaboration, knowledge, advocacy, and empowerment.
How we help
THIS THE OLD ONE
The Educational Achievement Partnership Program (EAPP) at Children’s Wisconsin is a team of experienced educators knowledgeable in chronic medical conditions and their impact on health, development, and learning. We collaborate with families, school teams, medical providers, and community care partners to identify needs and supports that will improve each child’s educational experience and opportunities for long-term well-being.
Care Partners - EAPP
Families
Families are experts on their child and share details about hopes, dreams, challenges, and success strategies.
Medical providers
Hospital and community care providers are medical experts who connect families with the EAPP and guide school healthcare recommendations.
Schools
School staff are experts in curriculum, instruction, and classroom management who identify learning gaps and implement targeted teaching strategies.
Learning environments we support
State-funded (free) schools where instruction is provided by licensed teachers following state-mandated curriculum requirements
Public or private school teachers provide limited one-on-one instruction at home or virtually for children with qualifying needs

Support our kids
Educational Achievement Partnership Program services are offered to Children’s Wisconsin patients at no cost to their families. Because these services are not covered by insurance, it takes donors like you to ensure the EAPP is able to provide every child the opportunity to reach their optimal potential.
With your support, the EAPP can serve more children and families throughout and beyond our hospital.
