One of the aims of the Improving Food Allergy Verification and Medication Access in Chicago Public Schools study was to understand the barriers that parents face in reporting their children’s food allergies to CPS schools. This session will help parents with students in CPS schools who have food allergies learn more about this initiative, increase communication with their schools, and provide more education and resources.
