What is Hospital Homebound Schooling
Hospital Homebound Schooling program is a method of education for the children who are unable to attend school for any medical or physical condition and are either stuck at home or in hospitals. The method is a way to provide opportunities to such students to continue their education. The goal of the program is to help the children with physical condition integrate into the education system and get themselves educated despite the fact that they are confined in their homes or hospitals. The method is more popular in some countries and lesser in others.

Although schools advertise about these programs on a regular basis, the families in need for such a program for their children should always ask schools if they offer such programs. By communicating with the schools through email or over the phone, you can get a program that can be customised while keeping the need of your child in mind.
