Checklist Children with asthma need proper support in child-care settings to keep their asthma under control and be fully active.
Uncontrolled asthma can hinder a child's attendance, participation, and progress in school.
Child-care staff, health professionals, and parents can work together to remove obstacles and promote children's health and development. Contact the organizations listed for information about asthma and helpful ideas for making school policies and practices more asthma-friendly. Federal and State laws are in place to help children with asthma.
