Caring for Young Children with Type 1 Diabetes in Child Care
Tuesday, November 12, 2024 (2:00 PM - 3:00 PM) (EST)
Description
The number of young children with Type 1 diabetes has increased significantly over the years. Care of young children with this disease is especially complicated as they must rely on adult caregivers until they are old enough to understand and manage the disease themselves. Families with young children with diabetes are protected under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Americans with Disabilities Act (https://www.ada.gov/) so reasonable accommodation must be made for their care in child care programs. This workshop explores strategies for administrators, ECE professionals and school nurses to care for young children with type 1 diabetes in ECE programs.
