Thank you for this Town Hall Forum. It is a great way to be an active voice in the community.

I believe the PMAT course does not meet the needs of children with severe allergies. I would like to see the PMAT course changed to include not only the admistration of the EPIPEN, but also the administration of Benadry. There is a missing piece to the puzzle when it comes to what the PMAT course provides and what doctors are prescribing to people with allergies/Epipens. Most doctors are now prescribing Benadryl before administering the Epipen. Please consider changing the PMAT course to include the adminstration of Benadry. It will allow Preschool/Day Centers to better serve and project our children.

I would also like to see first aid/CPR, Daily Health Checks/OSHA the MAT and PMAT training count towards the annual trainning requirement. These courses are costly and usually take several hours. Because it is neccessary it should also be counted.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my requests.
