Kids With Food Allergies (KFA) , a division of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America hosted a free educational webinar on Jan. 14, 2014, featuring guest speaker Laurel Francoeur, Esq, co-founder of Greenlaurel Solutions, LLC. Laurel presented the different options available for school health plans for students with food allergies, reviewed federal laws and definitions, and explained students' rights.

An attendee gave this review as the most valuable part of the webinar:

“Laurel took very complex material and summarized the process in a very easy to understand way. Very helpful as we're considering a 504 Plan...”


The following is the video recording of the webinar and a list of resources to accompany the presentation.

Laurel reviewed the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 504 Plans, Individualized Health Care Plans (IHCPs), Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and IEPs, things to consider when you first draft your plan, and how to approach the school and begin the process of creating a plan for your child.  We thank her for her time and sharing her expertise with us.  We also thank Nancy Polmear-Swendris for providing medical oversight and helping us prepare resources.
