Food Allergy Lingo When Talking to School Administrators

Bookmark the Illinois State Board of Education's Nutrition information page for a thorough index of federal laws and food allergy resources. No matter where you live, it's important to know the laws that have been created to keep food allergic school children safe. The summer is a great time to educate yourself and to begin to meet with school administrators to discuss the needs of your child. Be prepared to request a 504 Plan or an IEP or an Individualized Healthcare Plan. There are many options, but only you and your allergist know the best fit for your child.

Thanks Nut-Free Mom for the head's up on this information.
