Great to see NASB has updated their materials! There is a lot more helpful info here than a couple years ago.  :)

From what I read and skimmed, I didn't see a whole lot about inclusion in particular, but there was some.  This is a great find ajas.

Wow--it's so nice to see 504 included in documents like this these days. How utterly refreshing.

And they address bullying. :)

Quote

Classroom
•    Classrooms and all otherlocations known to be used by a
studentwith a life-threatening food allergymust be keptfree ofthe
allergens identified as harmfulto the student. If a student's allergy
is not as severe, specific areas and desks can be designated for
the student's use thatwill be kept allergen safe.Be careful not
to compromise a student's confidentialitywhenmaking such
accommodations.
•    As amatter ofroutine,whether or not a studentwith a
food allergy is present, avoid using common food allergens in
classroomprojects/activities, as academic rewards orincentives,
and during classroomparties, celebrations, or special events. Allow
only pre-packaged food itemswith complete ingredientlists in the
classroomso that potentialfood allergens can be identified

...Consistently implement appropriate handwashing procedures (note that hand sanitizers are not effective in
removing the residue of known allergens).
•    Communicate rules and expectations about bullying related to food allergies, including appropriate conduct,
consequences, and related disciplinary actions.
•    Train classroom teachers and other staff in allergy awareness, basic prevention/risk reduction procedures,
recognizing allergic reactions, reading product labels, identifying hidden allergens, and implementing
emergency response procedures....


Ingredient lists
Federal law requires the eight major food allergens to be declared on all packaged food labels, either 1) in the
ingredient list; 2) in a parenthetical statement (e.g. casein [milk]); or in a separate statement after or near the
ingredient list (e.g. contains milk). However, federal law does not regulate the use of precautionary "may contain"
statements. Individuals affected by food allergy are generally told to avoid products with "may contain" statements.
What is more, manufacturers often change ingredients, so food labels must be read each time a packaged food item is
used/consumed.



Wow--deals with buses, extra curriculers, and the need to manage crowd control during a reaction. Whenever I mention that in a meeting, I get such funny looks. 

Lovely.  I might use this at our next high school 504 meeting. :)

Just finding that Missouri is included in this interesting. When DH received a call from a Missouri organization last year about a job, I said NO WAY, based on the experiences of several here--and they lived throughout the state I believe.
