Supporting a Student with Hyperadrenergic POTS in Primary School
A ready-to-share resource for parents navigating school with a child with hyperadrenergic POTS
If your child has hyperadrenergic POTS, explaining it to their school can be exhausting. Most teachers haven't heard of it. Even those who want to help often don't know how to.
This guide does the explaining for you.
Written for classroom teachers, it covers what hyperadrenergic POTS is, how it looks across a school day — including symptoms that are easy to miss or misread as behavioural — and the practical accommodations that make a real difference without requiring major classroom changes.
This is a concise, five-page guide designed to be printed and handed directly to a teacher or school nurse — clear enough to read quickly, specific enough to actually help.
Hand it to a teacher, school nurse, or bring it to your next school meeting.
Includes:
What hyperadrenergic POTS is and how it affects a student's body during a school day
How symptoms actually present in a classroom — including fatigue, emotional reactivity, and movement needs that are physiological, not behavioural
Practical accommodations that support participation and attendance
What to do when a student is struggling during the school day
Written by Alice Greenwood, speech pathologist and educator, with lived and parenting experience of POTS.
