#65 Talking 504 Plans with D-Mom Jill

Getting a 504 plan is easier than you think and its super important!

Sure perhaps when you hear 504 plan it doesn't sound too exciting, but you know what is exciting? Proper care for your chid while they are at school. Type 1 diabetes is a 24 hour a day disease and no one can afford to ignore a third of those hours just because they happen at school. There is however a way to maintain the level of care that you have at home while you little (or not so little) one is away at school - get a 504 plan! And it's easier than you think.

There is a bunch of info on Arden's Day about 504 plans. Click on the search bar at the top of the page and search "504" for everything I've written including a downloadable version of Arden's 504 plan. And this is a direct link to her most recent plan.
