To describe the academic concerns and risk strata of children with sickle cell disease (SCD) as identified through a parent-directed screening tool and to compare the rates of these concerns with actual school service utilization in the clinic population. We completed a retrospective review of patients with SCD referred to the school intervention program during the 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 school years due to a school-related concern raised by parents or noted by the clinical team. All parents completed the Brief School Needs Inventory (BSNI), a validated parent-response tool used to stratify academic risk. Rates of special education services, grade retention, and results from neuropsychological testing were captured. Clinical history, the use of disease-modifying therapy, and results from laboratory and neuroimaging studies were also obtained. Descriptive statistics were performed to examine demographic information, clinical history, and BSNI results. 137 unique patients (age range – 14 months to 19 years) completed the BSNI during the study period, for a total of 181 events. According to BSNI risk-stratification, 45% of patients were deemed low, 36% moderate, and 19% high academic risk. Over half of parents were concerned about their ability to advocate for their child’s needs. Despite legal qualification for a Section 504 accommodation plan, only 20% had established plans. Academic concerns were common with 31% of children reporting an Individualized Education Program and 20% with grade retention/remediation. Concerns for academic challenges remain high amongst parents of children with SCD; however, school service utilization remains disproportionately low due to numerous reasons.
