SHAB PRIORITY AREA WORKGROUPS

SHAB Workgroups were first established in 2013 as a way to get work done in between SHAB meetings and to allow SHAB members to work on the topics they most care about.  The workgroups were selected based on a survey of member priorities. Each workgroup includes a parent and an APS staff co-lead. Selected resources are included below each Priority Area/Workgroup.  Workgroups were consolidated and/or reorganized in 2016.

1. Assessment and Best Practices
2. Nutrition and Physical Activity
3. Allergy and Anaphylaxis
4. Socio-Emotional Health
5. Environmental Health and Asthma
