Patty, ,

I want to offer any support the PAI can provide in providing education to the

schools. Sometimes it has been helpful to have the PAI write formal letters

on letterhead to address or support the care plan the interdisciplinary team

feels she needs. Sometimes, a formal letter from a professional organization

(as we are :-) can let them know that this disease is serious and that the

symptoms, though not noticeable or measurable are real and need to be

addressed in the overall scholastic treatment plan.

Depending on where people live, one service some areas have is to provide

inservice education to groups.

I just want to help anyway we can. I am following along the guideline of the

American Diabetes Association youth advocacy projects.
