One in four parents say their child exhibits a medical or behavioral health condition that requires assistance at school. That’s according to the University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott children’s hospital. WEMU’s Caroline MacGregor reports.

Parents are getting ready to send their kids back to school, and that involves a lot of physical and financial preparation. There is also an emotional toll involved. The University of Michigan’s C.S. Mott Children's Hospital conducted a national poll to learn what concerns parents most when it comes to the health of their children. Dr. Susan Woolford is a pediatrician at Mott and served as co-director of the poll. She joined WEMU's David Fair with the results and advice.
