Asthma and the Classroom

Asthma is a leading chronic illness among children and youth in the United States. On average, in a classroom of 30 children, about three are likely to have asthma. Asthma is also one of the leading causes of absenteeism among children. Make sure your asthmatic students have an Asthma Action Plan. Click here to download the Asthma Action Plan file.

Asthma 101 Classes are available to help parents and teachers better manage asthma. Check our calendar for more information on upcoming classes.
