| HHE | The acronym has been introduces by the project LeHo itself. As far as we know, it didn't exist before. With HHE we mean all the activities related to the wide word of the education for children or youngsters with medical needs, being it in hospital (with hospital sections or hospital schools) or at home (as home tuition). See also Hospital Education and Home Education. |
| Home Education | A form of learning in terms of knowledge, skills, and habits through teaching, training, or research at home. In some countries this term includes all learning with children and students with medical conditions apart from learning in hospital and in the usual lessons of the mainstream school. |

|
| Home Tuition | In the context of Hospital and Home Education (HHE) teaching pupils and students with medical conditions at home or another venue instead of hospital, e.g. during a home therapy or in a phase of aftercare, to allow him to carry on the studies. (See Home Education) |

Why a glossary?
Due to the fact that the terms related to home and hospital education vary a lot in different contexts and countries, and that in English too there are several different names to refer to similar practices (home tuition, domiciliary learning…) as a basis to ensure an effective communication on the HHE themes, a common glossary is needed.
Therefore the LeHo network developed this one you can find here as a draft. It is till under the reviewing process by LeHo Board of Experts.
The LeHo project has been funded with support from the European Commission.
