Allergy season can make managing asthma even harder for kids. If your child struggles with asthma symptoms during this time, the Pediatric Asthma Education Program at COPC is here to help. Designed for children ages 4–18, our program gives families the tools they need to manage asthma confidently and effectively.
What Is the Pediatric Asthma Program?
Our pediatric asthma education program is tailored to empower patients and their families with the knowledge and tools needed to take control of asthma. Through personalized treatment plans and one-on-one sessions with a respiratory therapist, we help build confidence in managing symptoms and reduce anxiety associated with asthma diagnosis. By addressing triggers beyond allergies, such as exercise, infections, cold air, and stress, our program equips families to handle symptoms effectively, no matter the trigger.
