Wee Wheezers is a validated asthma education program in English and Spanish, based on social learning theory and designed specifically for parents of young children under the age of seven. The program consists of four small group sessions for parents that last approximately 2-hours each. Children, ages 4-6, attend two sessions designed for them along with their parents. Nurses with pediatric asthma management experience or other professional health education providers familiar with pediatric asthma facilitate the sessions.

Wee Wheezers at Home is a validated asthma education program for parents of young children under the age of seven that is implemented in a home setting. The program consists of eight 90-minute sessions that are conducted by a home visitor over an eight-week period. Sessions are held in the home of the family in a one-on-one format or in a small family group setting. The educational materials for families are tailored for a low-literacy adult (5th-grade reading level) and child audience and are culturally appropriate.
