Abstract

Food allergy is a growing health and safety concern that affects up to 8% of school-age children. Because children spend a significant part of their day in school, and the overall number of school-age children with food allergy has been increasing, management of food allergies relies on the collaboration of allergists, families, and schools to treat and prevent acute allergic reactions. For schools, this involves policies centered on food allergen avoidance, preparedness with epinephrine autoinjectors, adequate school personnel training, and accommodations for an equal opportunity learning environment. Partnerships with allergists, primary care providers, students, families, school nurses, and school staff are vital for creating individualized and effective care plans that will allow all children, including those with food allergies, a safe and nurturing learning environment.
