FOOD ALLERGY PLAN #4
Give the school contact information for your child’s doctor or allergist in case there is a bad food reaction. This doctor should be someone familiar with your student’s food allergy problem. Preferably it should not be a random walk in clinic doctor that does not know your child, but a doctor that can address the issue with school staff in case of a problem.
FOOD ALLERGY PLAN #3
Provide the school with information on what kind of treatment your student should receive in case of a food allergy reaction. For this you need to assume that your child ingested a food that they shouldn’t have. What would you want a teacher or school nurse that doesn’t know your child to do? Prepare for the worst. Food allergies are not predictable. Even if your child has had only minor reactions in the past, that doesn’t mean the next one won’t be severe.
FOOD ALLERGY PLAN #2
Make a list of any potential signs of a reaction your child may experience. This list should include all possibilities from the mild to the worst-case scenario. This information will be very helpful to teachers and other school staff so they will know what to watch out for.
