The Get a Head Start on Asthma website is designed to provide basic information about asthma and asthma management to parents and Head Start teachers who care for pre-school children with asthma. Written and audio answers to common asthma questions are provided in English, Hmong and Spanish. Information about asthma medication administration and use of equipment is also included. Additional web-based asthma resources are tailored to parents and teachers.
