As a parent of a child with cystic fibrosis, you are an important advocate for their success at school. Accommodations such as an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a 504 Plan can help support your child's health, learning, and overall well-being in the classroom.

Learn more about school accommodations and resources to help ensure your child has the support they need to thrive at school: https://www.cff.org/managing-cf/individualized-education-programs-ieps-and-504-plans

Last week, staff spent time volunteering and helping prepare materials for our upcoming fall events. Thank you to the team who assembled Marathon medals, prepped Great Strides t-shirts, made event buttons, and helped with thank you cards. It takes a village to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis! 💜🌟

Have 10 minutes? Take the Annual CF Insights survey to share what’s working, what’s hard, and what would make a real difference for the CF community.

Results will help guide CF Foundation decisions around research, care, and support — and ensure researchers and clinicians have a clearer understanding of the evolving needs of the CF community.

The survey is open to everyone in the community and is available in English and Spanish. Share your anonymous insights by Sept. 7: https://cff.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cXQWcpMTUVgPDhA?Source=33
