I just came across this great webinar from the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) on how to deal with conveying your child’s gluten-free diet at school. With school starting very soon, this is good information to be armed with when discussing your child’s diet with school staff who may or may not understand the importance of the gluten-free diet. For anyone with gluten-free kids, this is something not to be missed.

Announcing NFCA’s Webinar, “The Importance of School Nurse Education & How-To Strategies for Parents of Gluten-Free Kids,” on Thursday, August 25 at 9pm ET/6pm PT.

Join NFCA as Nina Spitzer, President of the Celiac Disease Foundation’s Greater Phoenix Chapter, leads this valuable hour-long session about your child’s gluten-free needs in and out of the classroom.

Nina will:

  • Explain the 504 Plan and its impact on the child’s rights in the school environment.
  • Advise why school nurses should be educated on celiac disease and the gluten-free diet, including a review of their role in the classroom setting.
  • Provide a list of school support staff and their appropriate roles in accommodating a celiac child’s needs.
  • Share strategies on how parents can maneuver the school year with their gluten-free child.
