New Checklist Aims to Help Families Communicate with the Provider About School Options

The University of Miami’s Mailman Center for Child Development together with the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Family Network on Disabilities developed a checklist—available in both English and Spanish—to help families discuss the best school option with their family provider.

What to expect at the emergency department

Canada's ECHO Research, along with the Alberta Research Centre for Health Evidence (ARCHE) and Translating Emergency Knowledge for Kids (TREKK), have developed a new resource to help families navigate the Emergency Department (ED).

you don’t know what to expect. Some hospital procedures have changed due to
COVID-19, and specific information related to the COVID-19 pandemic has
been included in this infographic.
