This book is dedicated to my daughter Dania and all kids living with type one diabetes. As Dania started her first grade this year, she realized she is not like the rest of the students in her classroom. She has type one diabetes. She told me that she doesn‛t like it when the school nurse calls her to the office while she is doing something fun in the classroom. She doesn‛t want to answer the question that one of her friends normally ask her every time,"why did you go to the nurse again?". The purpose of this story is to educate kids about type one diabetes. This story is also written to encourage kids with type one diabetes to feel that they are not alone, and they are like Dania. The story also encourages students to support their friends with type one diabetes. Thank you for buying my book. I hope your kids enjoy it! Especially for Parents Who Have Children Living with Type 1 Diabetes. Your child is eligible for special education and related services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA). IDEA mandated public schools to provide certain necessary services to students with Type one diabetes. Type one diabetes is covered under Other Health Impairments; It is one of the fourteenth categories that qualify children with type one diabetes and protects them under the U.S. national special education law.Your child cannot be denied access to free public education, which means that the school authority has to make the school accessible for your child with type one diabetes, and make relevant accommodations that are necessary for the educational, social, and emotional comfort of your child in the school environment. In other words, "LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD FOR EVERYONE"
