I honestly haven't had anyone with these issues before, but if I do at least I'll know about it. What kind of emergency plans do these kids require?

I talk to the student and the parents and find out what their symptoms and reactions are, and determine what response needs to happen in school. I prepare an emergency plan for teachers to follow until I can get to the classroom and take over. It's just simple step by step directions what to possibly look for and what to do.
