School Asthma Programs

School asthma programs are initiatives designed to help students manage asthma effectively while at school. These programs often include education for students, staff, and parents about asthma triggers, medication use, and emergency response. They may also involve creating action plans tailored to each student, training school personnel, and ensuring access to inhalers and other treatments. The goal is to reduce asthma episodes, improve students’ health and attendance, and ensure a safe environment where students can participate fully in school activities. Effective programs foster awareness, preparedness, and support for students with asthma.
