DC launched its first-ever standard Asthma Action Plan form for children and adults developed collaboratively by members of NCAC’s Health Services & Quality Improvement Committee, piloted at Children’s National Medical Center, and endorsed by the DC Department of Health. The form includes copies to share with schools, childcare providers, nursing homes, and other caregivers. It also fulfills the requirements for student self-administration of asthma medication under DC’s Student Access to Treatment Act of 2007.

Wouldn't it be great if the children you serve who have asthma could learn to better manage their condition while having fun playing an interactive video game? We developed Quest for the Code as an interactive resource to help kids do just that, and the game is now available online for the first time! Featuring some of their favorite celebrities as asthma-villians, Quest for the Code will help kids and teens find out more about:

Early warning signs and symptoms
Identifying and avoiding asthma triggers
Myths about asthma
How asthma affects the lungs
Proper use of asthma medication devices
Long-term control medicine and quick-relief medicine
