Ulcerative Colitis

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but here is a link to "Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis: a guide for teachers and other school personnel" from the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America: CCFA: Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis: A guide for teachers and other school personnel.

Also a guide for parents here: CCFA: Crohn's Disease & Ulcerative Colitis: A Guide for Parents.

I've had some students with IBD and certain medications have helped, but being able to visit me and use my bathroom discretely (and sometimes change clothes if needed) is key. Link above talks about 504 plans and accommodations in school that can help with management (including notes about transition to college and dorm room accommodations like a private bathroom since that is on the horizon).

Yup I have that link thx....the college transition piece will be a factor so I appreciate the thought about a private bathroom. I told her to contact guidance and the school nurse re a 504 plan.

Poor kiddo he has been in since last Wed and looking to get out on Thurs of this week.....all the fun stuff at FTD and Teleflora is food...cookie bouquets and chocolate dipped strawberries.....! so he got balloons....

I have a child with Inflammatory Bowel Disease - Crohn's. The doctor sent over a generic 3 page list of interventions and needs for his 504. A lot of it though is educational interventions such as tests, homework, missed days...... I will be happy to email those over to you tomorrow if you want. It doesn't include his name/doctor or location so no private info will be included. I think i can scan it from my printer to computer in my clinic. Just let me know.

Sweet I will pm you my email, Thx!! He is in house until prob Thurday....talked to him last night, in pretty good spirits, bored to tears in the hospital....but he promised me he is being nice to the nurses!!!

You are awesome school nurses to think about a 504 for college dorms! I left college because I couldn't share a bathroom w/3 other girls, it was too embarrassing (I developed IBS my 1st year of college). My life could have been so different if I could have had some privacy.

Sorry to hear that
