Hello United!
This is a quick pod all about Back to School. YAY! I often over prepare, but only because I am LAZY! I have a base presentation and checklist for who I need to contact and it doesn’t change too much. Do the hard work the first time and then add/subtract each year. See – lazy. Or…brilliant?!
The first time my Severe A went to school, I had color printouts with all the info, laminated for each person that would be coming in contact with him. I used the HFA online presentation and gave an all staff education, I used our all time favorite nurse Kathy as an educator and brought her in as many times as I could. Each year, I review/tweak the routine, meet all the teachers, nurses, admin and after care for a one on one.
As my boy gets older his responsibility grows and the risks change. I find new materials by talking to all the pharma reps and see what cool videos or checklists they have to make the process seamless.
I get a lot of texts and DMS about back to school and try to answer how we did it in the pod. Here are a few resources for you to try…

Good Luck!
