Youth may have limited strength, vitality or alertness due to chronic
or acute health problems. These may include heart conditions, tuberculosis,
rheumatic fever, nephritis, asthma, sickle cell anemia, hemophilia, epilepsy,
lead poisoning, leukemia, or diabetes. These health impairments may impact
the performance of the youth. Here are some web sites to help you more
effectively work with youth with these other health impairments.
