Sally Schoessler, MEd, BSN, RN, and Michael Pistiner, MD, MMSc,  will give you their expert insights about how you can partner with your child's school nurse for a safe school year managing food allergy.

This webinar will include a quick overview about food allergy prevention and preparedness, and then move on to the main presentation, where the the speakers will  discuss in detail:


1)  What you can do to ensure the school nurse has everything she needs to be prepared for your child at school;
2) What you can reasonably expect a school nurse to do to address the needs of students with food allergies;  and
3) What the school needs to do if there is no school nurse -- and how you can help.
