Food Allergy in Schools Summit

Striking A Balance

FAACT hosted the Food Allergy in Schools Summit in Cromwell, CT on Saturday March 25th. The conference provided participants with researched-based information about life-threatening food allergies and an interactive forum where they could review the new Guidelines to Managing Life-Threatening Food Allergies in Connecticut Schools. Presenters discussed concrete strategies that assisted school districts in creating their own guidelines as required by Public Act 05-104. This premier gathering of parents, teachers and school officials was useful to anyone involved in managing severe allergies in school.
