Living with Diabetes

ASAT’s main goal is to expand the Association’s ability to ensure that students with diabetes are medically safe at school and have the same educational opportunities as their peers.

In small, interactive one or two-day workshops, Association advanced school advocates are trained to:

• Facilitate Safe at School Workshops for parents/guardians of school aged children with diabetes
• Educate others to stand up for and prevent the unfair treatment of affected children
• Interact with school personnel to begin to forge relationships that will help achieve goals
• Prepare for Section 504 and IEP Team Meetings
• Impact other Association advocacy efforts
