For Older Children ONLY (9+ years of age)
In accordance with 606 CMR 7.11(3b-c) and with written parental consent and authorization of a licensed health care practitioner, this Individual Health Care Plan permits older school age children to carry their own inhaler and/or epinephrine auto-injector and use them as needed without the direct supervision of an educator.
The educator is aware of the contents and requirements of the child's Individual Health Care Plan specifying how the inhaler or epinephrine auto-injector will be kept secure from access by other children in the program. Whenever an Individual Health Care Plan provides for a child to carry his or her own medication, the licensee must maintain on-site a back-up supply of the medication for use as needed.
