Planning ahead is key for students who have Asthma. No one knows a student better than their parents, so talk to them and learn about the triggers and warning signs your student may have before an episode.
Having an action plan in place ahead of time is crucial. The sample plan below is a great start! In addition to emergency contact information, specific actions are given for the green, yellow and red zones. Sit down with your parents and your student and have a conversation about what symptoms to look for and what action to take so that everyone is on the same page.
Green Zone – No Symptoms
Yellow Zone – Coughing, Wheezing, Tightness of the Chest
Red Zone – Trouble walking or talking. Yellow Zone symptoms not relieved by medication.
