Today at noon EST (9am PST) I’ll be “Blabbing”, which is holding a casual live conversation with food allergy authors, advocates and parents, Gina Mennett Lee, M.Ed and Laurel Francoeur, Esq., about 504 plans!

One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
