We are Parents of Students With Type 1 Diabetes Advocating for Schools to FOLLOWT1Ds
ACT EARLY
We advocate for schools to use Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) remote alerts on secondary devices to prevent emergencies and to use current standards of diabetes care.
STAY CURIOUS
We advocate for the importance of incorporating parental input into diabetes management at school to ensure the safe implementation of diabetes medical management plans.
DO WHATS RIGHT
We advocate for schools to comply with state and federal ADA and Section 504 laws, and to consider DOJ interpretations of proper diabetes care in schools, before setting school policies.
FOLLOWT1Ds Unite for T1D School Rights!
Did a public school say “NO” to following your child?
Your story may help make a difference!
“Parents should not have to endure additional emotional turmoil or expend unnecessary energy to secure medically necessary, non-negotiable and reasonable accommodations that schools are already obligated to provide.”
