Finding others with Alopecia Areata
| Children School Pack |
It is important to educate the administration, teachers and fellow students of your child about alopecia areata. Though the autoimmune disease is common, many people still do not know about alopecia areata. It is important to stress, particularly in a classroom setting, that your child is not sick, that alopecia areata is not contagious, and that alopecia areata will not limit a child from doing all of the activities that other children do.
The National Alopecia Areata Foundation has created a School Pack to help parents, teachers and administrators educate students about alopecia areata. Please contact NAAF if you would like a hard copy mailed to you directly.
