The 504 plan! What is it? What's in it? And how can we make sure our children living with type 1 diabetes are cared for and safe in the school setting while also receiving the accommodations they need to thrive. My guest, today is a repeat guest, Leigh Fickling. (Check out links below for Leigh's other episode). Leigh works in the world of higher education and is also an attorney with a passion for making sure families are empowered and equipped when they walk into their child's 504 plan meeting during each school year. Leigh and I talk all about the 504 plan. What it is. What it's not. What to put in it and how to use it to make everyone's life a little safer and easier when it comes to sending your T1D kiddo off to school. Make sure to check out the first episode I did on the 504, episode #16 (see link below). Enjoy!
