Let’s Talk T1D: Education Series

As part of our ongoing Let’s Talk T1D Education Series, this virtual event will provide participants with information about going back to school when your child has type 1 diabetes, along with the opportunity for a question and answer period.

This webinar is intended for parents whose children are newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, who are starting school, or who need tips on improving the school experience. This session is moderated by Elizabeth Moreau of Diabetes@School.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Prepare for back-to-school when your child has type 1 diabetes
• Ensure your child’s school is prepared, and where to find resources
• Describe the rights of students with type 1 diabetes at school
• Advocate for your child or youth with type 1 diabetes
