Monkey in My Chair is a FREE program to keep pediatric cancer patients connected to their classrooms. It acts as an essential tool for teachers to help students cope with their classmate’s diagnosis.

Hospitals provide the key link to get the program in the hands of their patients.

How the program works:

Option one – hospitals request brochures only:

1. Hospitals provide information on the program to families.
2. The family can sign-up online or by mail.
3. A monkey package is mailed to the family.
4. Online access to their “Monkey Message” account is given to teachers and parents.

Option two – hospitals can request up to 10 kits at a time along with brochures:

1. Hospitals provide one of their Monkey In My Chair kits to interested families.
2. Hospitals must have families fill in the registration form and fax, mail, or email the form back.
3. Online access to their “Monkey Message” account is given to teachers and parents only when the kit is registered.

A Monkey in My Chair coordinator will connect with schools and families to provide support and frequent idea for activities to keep the patient and classmates interacting.
