School

Teachers and other school staff will play an important role in controlling your child's asthma. Meet with your child�s teachers, coaches and school nurse to talk about your child�s asthma. Give them a copy of your child�s Asthma Action Plan. Explain how to read the plan, medications and what to do during an asthma attack. Check your child�s inhaler for medication weekly. Have a back-up inhaler to use.

Make a checklist of documents to bring and questions you want to ask. Print the Asthma School Checklist to take with you. Take a tour of the School in Breatheasyville to learn more about controlling asthma in schools.
