Asthma in Schools<\/h2>\n

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America supports policies and programs that protect students with asthma in schools. It is our goal to see each state have current and appropriate asthma management programs in place for its students. We also support more training for teachers and school staff to know how to recognize and treat asthma emergencies.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”H3 + Content” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#505050″ link_font=”||||on|||#008c99|” link_text_color=”#008c99″ header_2_font=”|600|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#008c99″ header_2_font_size=”39px” header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_3_text_align=”left” header_3_text_color=”#008c99″ header_3_font_size=”28px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

We believe with the right training and policies in place, not only will our schools be safer for children with asthma, but lives can be saved.<\/p>\n
