Print Resources
The National Eczema Association for Science and Education (NEASE) produces informational packets and brochures such as a children’s brochure that is created by children for children. The brochure describes and depicts what eczema means to children and gathers their thoughts and pictures. NEASE has developed a special “School Pack” for parents and teachers to help children cope with the effects that eczema can have on them at school. It includes letters parents can send to the school to explain the disease, sample lesson plans for teachers, a list of books, and tips for making the classroom setting more comfortable for children with eczema.
