LOCAL AND LONG DISTANCE PHONE CONSULTATIONS ARE AVAILABLE

We have recently added phone consultations to better serve parents and caregivers of children with severe food allergy and asthma across the country. Rhonda Riggott Stevens’ work and advocacy efforts with food allergy and asthma management have been cited by school districts, used in college courses, and written about in various books, magazine and newspaper articles nationwide. Since she has taught in all levels of education, she has a unique and comprehensive perspective on the disability designation process and the inner workings of classrooms and schools for children of all ages.

Our consultations allow you to:

• Share your concerns about sending your child to school.
• Pinpoint the greatest challenges you think you face and discuss strategies to overcome those challenges.
• Ask questions about Section 504, IDEA and ADA, what they are, what they mean and how to use them effectively.
• Learn how to begin the 504 or IDEA process in your school district.
• Discuss what may happen in your 504 and PPT Meetings.
• Learn the proper methods and means of communication and documentation with your school district.
• Determine the appropriate documentation to supply the school district when requesting a 504 or IDEA designation.
• Learn best practices for working with your allergy and asthma specialist and primary care physicians to obtain the documentation that your child needs.
• Explore advocacy strategies that promote compliance.
• Locate resource materials that will assist you in your advocacy efforts.
• Discuss strategies for spearheading legislation in your state that promote equal access for your child with food allergy and asthma.

Rhonda Riggott Stevens, a professional educator, has helped many parents work through the Section 504 and IDEA processes successfully with their school districts. Parents, caregivers and educators have found Rhonda Riggott Stevens’ experience and insight into food allergy and asthma school management issues invaluable.

While there is information on the web and in print about these disability designations, the information is often fragmented and can be confusing. There are times when you just need to talk to someone who has a clear understanding of how the process works from beginning to end. Or you may have already begun the process and need strategies to move your child forward. Rhonda Riggott Stevens knows the most direct path to securing the rights of a child with allergy and asthma using advocacy strategies that work.
