Please tell me this is old and they don't realize they've still got this advice up on their page.

My bold/orange added as to the most glaring concern.
And, what the heck?  Push for IHCP and no mention of 504?
Are we in the last century?

The Role of Parents or Guardians

Prevention starts at home. The parent's first job is to develop an Individualized Health Care Plan (IHCP) that should include reports from primary health-care providers or allergy specialists that details the student's allergy and medication program. The best plan is the Food Allergy Action Plan (FAAP) developed by Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) that describes the signs, symptoms and appropriate treatments for allergic reactions. The FAAP provides informed consent and contact numbers for parents, guardians and health care providers. Responsible parents should review the IHCP and FAAP with the school nurse and classroom teacher each year prior to the opening of school. Parents must provide schools with a minimum of two up-to-date EpiPens® or Auvi-Q® devices and be sure that these devices are stored in an unlocked cabinet and accessible to all school personnel during and after school hours. Parents should provide safe snacks for classroom parties and whenever possible, accompany food-allergic children on field trips. - See more at: http://www.kidswithfoodallergies.org/resourcespre.php?id=84#sthash.IvI15XF5.dpuf

They have a lot of 504 material now, including that helpful webinar.

My opinion is that communication between different allergy groups is generally a good thing, even if we aren't going to 100% agree on everything.

It wouldn't hurt to ask them about this ... but (no offense)  :hiding: ... in a respectful way ... as we would like, if somebody asked us about something questionable they saw at FAS.
