I know it's the middle of summer, but as the time for school approaches, we should make sure we have the proper accommodations in place. If not, the school should be contacted to set up a child study team meeting. That meeting can take place as soon as school begins, but it is also possible to have them over the summer if needed.

New name for the NJ/PA Eosinophilic Website

NJPAEos.org, which I originally created several years ago to help those in the NJ/PA Eosinophilic Support Group, is now called "NJ/PA Eosinophilic Information" (with the same URL address).  It still has the same information, including news and resources, but I am hoping to expand on that information in the near future. 

Please feel free to visit the site.  Hopefully the information provided will be helpful.
