Description

When 7-year-old Eliana returns to school after her celiac disease diagnosis, she faces more than a new diet—she faces isolation and a lack of support in all elements of school life. In this episode of Raising Celiac, Dr. Hilary Jericho from Stanford discusses new research on the school experiences of children with celiac disease, highlighting the urgent need for proper accommodations that are documented in a 504 plan.

1. Understand the social and emotional challenges children with celiac disease face at school.
2. Learn the importance of 504 plans in ensuring safe, inclusive school environments.
3. Explore recent research on how celiac disease affects a child’s daily school experience.
