Lori Anderson’s research is focused on children with special health care needs (CSHCN), care of CSHCN in the school setting, family adaptation, and care coordination between health care, home, and school settings. Currently, she is the Program Director for eSchoolCare (visit: http://research.son.wisc.edu/eSchoolCare for more information). This federally funded project uses iPads to provide educational resources to school nurses to support the care of children with chronic health conditions in the school setting. Professor Anderson is also conducting a survey study of Wisconsin parents of CSHCN about the care their children receive in the school setting. She has conducted studies of mothers of CSHCN, Latino families with CSHCN, and has completed a national survey of school nurses to document their experience in caring for CSHCN.
