Asthma Awareness Curriculum for the Elementary Classroom

Asthma is the most common chronic childhood condition & a leading cause of school absences. Both hospitalizations & deaths due to asthma are increasing. Recent scientific advances have led to changes in our understanding & treatment of asthma. While it cannot be cured, it can be controlled so that children can be active. These lessons were developed for use with elementary school children & are designed to: develop a basic understanding of asthma & help correct misinformation; inform students about appropriate actions that can help people with asthma; & provide resources to share with parents & other family members.Stuckhardt, Kay is the author of 'Asthma Awareness Curriculum for the Elementary Classroom' with ISBN 9780788181641 and ISBN 0788181645.
