CONNECTING HEALTH AND LEARNING
Clinic to Classroom is driven by a deep belief that health and learning are unequivocally interconnected and that true educational access and equity can only be fully realized when traditionally siloed healthcare and education system prioritize care integration.
Our mission is to share our lived experiences of navigating multilayered barriers and misperceptions to inspire innovative solutions and purposeful collaborative partnerships that allow children with medical and mental health needs to flourish.
Chronic illness affects 40% of school-age children.
1 in 3 of these children have related learning challenges that often go overlooked.
Are you prepared to meet their needs?

Offering Half Day Virtual Workshops That Explore 3 Key Modules!
At Clinic to Classroom, we believe professional development should be accessible to everyone. We know time and budget can be limiting, so this virtual workshop offers a high-impact learning experience with three core modules, ensuring you gain actionable taw without missing key learning opportunities.
Explaining the impact on learning
By the end of this module participants will be able to:
Recognize the impact chronic illness has on brain and body systems (i.e. mood disturbances, cognitive changes, sleep disruption, physical plain, low energy levels, etc.)
Use images and analogies to describe how different medical conditions, treatments, or complications can cause changes to brain structure, function, and chemistry.
Describe possible delays and lifetime attainment risks of chronic illness.
Explain how a single condition can impact many areas of learning and how a single area of deficit can be caused by multiple seemingly unrelated educational challenges.
Linking Health and Learning
By the end of this module participants will be able to:
Describe what makes a medical or mental health condition “chronic” and explain the school implications (i.e. school avoidance and absenteeism.
Academic challenges, elevated emotional distress, low self-confidence, etc.)
List the different types of education plans, what supports they provide, and who they are intended to support.
Explain the many misperceptions and systemic barriers that prevent effective home-health-school care coordination.
Explaining the Impact on Learning and Supporting Education
By the end of this module participants will be able to:
Explain the 5 criteria for qualifying for special education under the OHI category.
Identify which if the 5 criteria have a systematic process for determination.
Develop strategies to advocate for appropriate evaluations and services.
Describe the 10 questions to consider when finding the “root cause” of the problem and specific strategies for “just in time” problem-solving.

What workshop participants have to say
“I currently have multiple students where I plan on immediately using some of the skills that you went over. The training was extremely informative and appreciated! I feel like there is such little training regarding this topic and it was helpful to get some guidance…I have already mentioned the Health-Brain-Body Connection Logic Chain to my administration, special education teacher, and school nurse.”

Success Coaches
Kyle Landry, MEd is the founding School Success Coach behind Clinic to
Classroom Consulting. Landry’s passion for equity in education began as a
k-12 urban educator in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As a 3rd year teacher, a
student had a medical event in her classroom which launched a desire – a
responsibility – to advocate for students and families struggling to
navigate the deeply siloed healthcare and education systems.
Over 10 years of program growth as the Founder and Manager of the Educational Achievement Partnership Program at Children’s Wisconsin, Landry established multiple tools and strategies to facilitate a shared understanding of the health-body-brain connection among families, medical providers, and school teams. This novel work has led to several funded research and quality improvement grants, peer-reviewed publications in high impact medical and school psychology journals, and the honor of being named a 2022 Milwaukee Business Journal 40 Under 40 Honoree.
Landry holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education (2010), a Master’s Degree in Cultural Foundations of Community and Education (2018), and numerous professional certificates in the fields of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Healthcare Administration (2021 and 2022). She is currently pursuing her PhD in Organizational Leadership, braiding together her experiences in education and healthcare, and promoting a vision for creating more school-friendly health systems.
Christie Ruehl, JD, MBA is the Senior Program Manager for the Educational
Achievement Partnership Program (EAPP) at Children’s Wisconsin. In this role, Christie co-led 14 research and quality improvement projects where she connects experience in healthcare, research, law, and advocacy to guide school success for families affected by chronic illness.
Christie’s path to the EAPP began as an education and healthcare advocate for her brother, who was born with a complex medical condition that caused learning difficulties. This personal history drives Christie’s commitment to ensuring
children with chronic illnesses have the best opportunities to lead healthy, happy, and fulfilling lives.
Christie earned a Juris Doctorate from Stetson University College of Law
(2006), cum laude, a Master of Business Administration from Stetson University (2009), and a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Wisconsin – Madison (2002).
Our 20 years of combined experience helping families, medical providers, and school teams work together has been published and recognized by:
