Back to School with T1D – Long Island

The start of the school year is just around the corner and Breakthrough T1D wants to ensure that every child has the best possible school experience. Whether newly diagnosed and going back to school for the first time since diagnosis, starting a new school or looking for resources to help ease the transition back to school, Breakthrough T1D invites you to attend the Back to School with T1D program.

Presented by a Registered School Nurse, legal expert and a classroom teacher, parents will have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss the issues facing diabetes management from kindergarten through college. Information will be available about 504 plans, educational tool kits, tips on “low boxes” and storage of supplies. Issues about safe extra-curricular activities, field trips, lock-downs, and more. Join us and start the school year confidently!
