DSMA Live 'Rents: Safe at School

Crystal  Jackson of the American Diabetes Association joins us to chat about safe at school. Summer is the best time to get ready for the next school year. With a lille more time and a more relaxed pace getting plans in place for next year is a less stressful process.

Join us as we talk about:

• Common school diabetes care problems and how they constitute "discrimination"
• Strategies for resolution
• Legal protections  and rights of students with diabetes (federal and state)
• Barriers to the enforcement of legal protections
