The backpack is not the cause of the problem. Children simply haven t been shown or taught proper methods of packing, lifting and carrying their backpacks. The problem stems from a lack of focused information delivered to students, parents, teachers and school administrators. The solution can be found in a comprehensive educational program aimed at young people from kindergarten through 8 th grade, supported and endorsed by parents, teachers, school administrators and health care providers. Instructional take home brochure is given to each student.
Teachers distribute and collect follow up survey for parents.
