Food Allergy Education Services
There’s a lot to figure out between appointments.
From reading labels, recognizing reactions and knowing how to give epinephrine to starting school, traveling, and considering treatment options.
The Food Allergy Compass provides practical food allergy education services to help families navigate the parts of food allergy management that happen in everyday life.
What does ‘may contain’ actually mean, and how do I know which foods to avoid?
How do I make sure she’s safe when she starts school?
Can I trust myself—let alone someone else—to recognize a reaction and know how to give epinephrine?
How do I let my child experience more without letting fear hold us back?
Some of the hardest questions
don’t necessarily come up in the allergist’s office
The Food Allergy Compass was created to help fill that gap
A place to understand food allergy information, turn knowledge into practical skills, prepare for everyday situations, and identify questions and decisions to discuss with your child’s allergist.
Food allergy life changes as your child grows, and the questions that come with it change too. Our sessions can focus on whatever feels most important for your family right now. Choose an area below to learn more about what we can work through together.
