504 It's that time of year again

I've just had a personal experience with this which reminded me how important it is to remember to stand up for everyone with disabilities. The American Disability Act through the Department of Justice was implemented to support persons with disabilities from prejudice, bullying, unfairness, harassment, and make life comfortable for them. 

As back to school is approaching, don't forget to revisit your child's 504 plan. Set up an appointment to ensure nothing needs to be revisited from the last school year and implemented into this school year. As Type 1 parents, it's important to remember to advocate for our children. I know we all have our meetings with school nurses, back to school appointments for nurses orders, and supplies to get together. It's not easy to get our Type 1 children back to school, but we are pros at this. 

After my experience yesterday, I was clearly reminded how individuals forget a person with a disability has rights protected by laws. 

This blog above is great at helping you find information you may need in creating you own 504 plan that works for your child. 

Just a reminder to my other Type 1 Mom's out there. Our community is great in keeping each other going and informed. Wishing everyone a great new school year!
