This page of
resources
was developed for teachers and school nurses so that they might better
support students who come to school with significant medical problems.
Finding appropriate links was indeed a search for needles in the
haystack
of the web. I hope that you'll be pleased with the glistening needles
in
this collection; needles that might serve as templates for the
development
of protocols for other diseases and disabilities. Please let me know if
you come across any other resources that should be included.
