“…School absences were more frequent during the first school year of returning, for children in treatment or with brain tumours (Park et al, 2018) which were perceived negatively by parents (Hocking et al, 2018). If a formal plan to return to the school was not established, this appeared to lead to a more complicated and uncertain reintegration process (Chen et al, 2015;Pini et al, 2016;Rivero-Vergne et al, 2011;Tresman et al, 2016).…”
