A
DirectSTEP® eLearning course from LRP
This course provides paraprofessionals with an explanation of food allergies and what accommodations students with food allergies may receive under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). It addresses the definition of food allergies, the types of exposure that may trigger an allergic reaction, and what steps a paraprofessional may need to take if a reaction occurs. This course also explains why students with food allergies need a Section 504 plan, details the important allergy-related information that will likely be included in the student's 504 plan, provides examples of the most common accommodations for students with food allergies, and explains how those accommodations may be implemented by paraprofessionals in the educational setting.
