Webinar: Back-To-School & Gluten-Free- The Importance of School Nurse Education & How-To Strategies for Parents of Gluten-Free Kids
Believe it or not, summer is almost over and whether that makes you sad or glad, it’s the time of year to start planning for back-to-school.
And if you have a child with celiac disease (or a food allergy) you have even more to anticipate, plan for… and often times worry about.
That’s why I wanted to pass along to all BeFreeForMe.com members a special back-to-School webinar that is being sponsored by the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA): Importance of School Nurse Education & How-To Strategies for Parents of Gluten-Free Kids.
It is taking place (right in the comfort of your own home!) on Thursday, August 25th, 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. This webinar is FREE of charge! All you need is your computer and a working internet connection.
This webinar which will focus upon your child’s gluten-free needs in and out of the classroom will be lead by Nina Spitzer, President of the Celiac Disease Foundation’s Greater Phoenix Chapter.
And although this webinar is focuses on children with celiac disease, I bet that it will also be very insightful for those that have children with food allergies and other food intolerances as well.

Is it unreasonable to ask the school board to let my son which has celiacs attend a school that is close to my husband and mine’s work . We live near the school but both work 45 to an hour away.His Doctor says that with all his issues he would recommend it and has wriiten a letter stating so.The School Board has not said no yet but is giving me the run around.Any info on this matter would really help.
Thanks Shannon Thorpe

Shannon-
This is a great question! I suggest that you register to attend the seminar on 8/25/11. (The link is above in the blog post). The question you ask is the types of questions that I am sure the panelists will be addressing. I am sure they will give pointers on dealing with school-systems, etc.
The NFCA does a GREAT job at these webinars! Plus they are FREE and are well-worth your time!
Good Luck!
Be Free!
