Do you have a child who was recently diagnosed with food allergies? School is around the corner and there are systems to put in place that will help reduce the risk of an allergic reaction. Have you prepared an Emergency Action Plan? What about Guidelines to Keep My Child Safe? Have you scheduled a teacher/administration meeting to discuss your child's specific needs? Do you know what those needs are (e.g., nut-free classroom, limitations on food projects, hand washing protocols, location of emergency meds)?
Click on the following link to view/use some of these helpul and critical tools before sending your child off to school: http://www.allergicliving.com/features.asp?copy_id=291.
