Some of you may be familiar with Ellie Goldberg. She is an educational rights specialist that helps parents of children with asthma and food allergies (as well as other health issues). I was referred to her by FAAN and she has been helpful to us. She now has a web site www.healthy-kids.info, which you may find useful.
The more we parents know about our rights the more successful we will be in advocating for the needs of our children. Thank you for the great referral! I will add the website to the bookmarks section at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WA_FEAST.
