We had a great webinar in January about all the different types of plans (504 v IHCP v Emergency Action Plan). There is what to do in the case of a reaction/emergency, and what accommodations will create a safer environment to avoid those emergencies. It has a wealth of resources also. http://community.kidswithfooda...-video-and-resources

This is such a great and important idea. Our daughter's preschool asked for allergy information on the original sign up sheet, but when we went in for a sit down conversation there was so much more to cover than was on that questionnaire. I think everyone should have an allergy action plan with their child's school that is as detailed and explanatory as an IEP would be.
