Share the Action Plan
Give current copies to the school nurse, teachers, childcare providers, coaches, and relatives who supervise the child.
Community Support
Asthma-ready homes, schools, and youth programs.
Children do best when families, healthcare professionals, school nurses, teachers, coaches, and caregivers share the same clear plan.
For Parents & Caregivers
Teach Age-Appropriate Skills
Help children name symptoms, avoid known triggers, find an adult, and use prescribed devices correctly.
Track Patterns
Record night symptoms, missed school, activity limits, reliever use, urgent visits, and exposure patterns.
For Schools & Youth Programs
Medication Access
Follow applicable laws, school policy, and the child's medical orders so prescribed rescue medicine can be accessed quickly.
Staff Readiness
Train relevant staff to recognize worsening asthma, follow the plan, and activate emergency services.
Healthy Indoor Air
Address moisture, mold, pests, dust, smoke, fragrances, chemical irritants, and ventilation concerns.
Participation, Not Exclusion
With appropriate control and planning, students with asthma should be supported in physical activity and school life.
