Abstract	This booklet contains guidelines to help families coordinate health care of a child with asthma. The first section provides general information covering what asthma is, the signs and symptoms of asthma, effects of asthma, and the use and effects of various medications. A section on health care focuses on the use of the Family Centered Health Care Team, periodic health care, and record-keeping. The next section reviews the asthmatic child's needs for health care, proper development, schooling, and day care for each of the following age groupings: infants ages 0-2, preschool children ages 3-5, school-age children ages 6-12, adolescents ages 13-17, and young adults ages 18-21. The next section briefly describes family support services in the areas of advocacy, human services, schools, family support groups and networks, recreation, travel, safety, and siblings. A glossary of about 50 asthma-related terms is provided. A listing of resources includes 8 asthma-specific organizations; 16 books, pamphlets, and videos for children and families; 15 articles and books for health professionals; 7 resources (in Minnesota) for specialty medical care for children with asthma; 21 general organizations for children with special health care needs; 20 general books, pamphlets, videos, and catalogs; and 8 sources of health care financing.
