Parents Peak Performance Actions
- Parents have a vested interest in helping to enhance the “asthma awareness” of those professionals to whom they entrust the education of their children.
- Take a copy of the child’s Asthma Action Plan, from the child’s physician, to the school nurse or designated health coordinator. If no Action Plan is available, provide a copy of the Asthma Action Plan, provided in this program, to the physician for completion. A copy of the plan should be provided to the school whenever it is changed by the child’s physician.
- Parents should obtain the appropriate paperwork to the child to self carry and administer medication. If your school does not have the appropriate paperwork, you may use Peak Performance USA’s Administration of Medication Authorization Form. New paperwork must be completed at the beginning of each school year, for each medication, and each time there is a change in dosage or time of administration of a medication.
- Prescription medication must be in a container labeled by the pharmacist or prescriber. Non-prescription medication must be in the original container with the label intact.
- Parent must ensure that child’s medications are refilled when needed.
