Article explaining Lyme to teachers?

[adkmom]

I'm sending our ds4 back to preK for a bit. Can anyone suggest any articles that explains the symptoms of Lyme in children that teachers could easily understand? They said they've never seen it in children and didn't understand any of the behavioral & cognitive symptoms. Add that to PANDAS and they're completely lost.

 

thanks.

i thought i knew of a couple -- i went to a conference last fall. i don't have time now, try to look later -- try http://www.ilads.org/files/publications_pediatric_school_psych.pdf. i haven't re-read it but it may be good. it's a little old - 2007 but still explains.

This is an excellent brochure too.http://www.lymediseaseassociation.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=586:abcs-of-lyme-disease-lda-pamphlet&catid=12:lyme-in-the-schools-&Itemid=147

 

If the link does not work, google "abcs of lyme" and click on the Lyme Disease association website. This is easy to read and includes a short section about making adjustments for the lyme affected student.
