What do you guys do for your students with POTS?I have a student with a POTS diagnosis. I have not received accommodations yet from the physician (1st time seeing a cardiologist is next week). But I was thinking she may need an emergency action plan due to the course of events since I've come on board at my school (like allergy/asthma/seizures). My department of education does not have one for this condition nor does my school health office.Does anyone have an action plan or an IHP they use (to be signed by parent and physician), that I can take to school health for review and put in place to keep her safe in school.Here's what I've found thus far:https://www.seattlechildrens.org/pdf/PE1792.pdfAlso, I'm on month 2 of being a new school nurse!

Mar 25, 2019 You might put "POTS" or "POTS IHP" in the search bar and see what other info you can glean.I had a kid with POTS. Worried about the kid all year long. Nothing bad happened all year. Good luck!
