This school offers a safe, warm and educational atmosphere for my child’s learning. Each and every day I feel comfortable with the program offered here for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. We, along with so many other Spectrum Services families, have benefited tremendously over the support and guidance that is shown to us daily. Melissa Mother of Oliver
Tip's From The Nurse’s Office
By Dan Uttendorfer, RN
Are you aware that colds, flu, bronchitis and most sore throats are caused by viruses? Did you know that antibiotics do not help fight viruses? It’s true. Plus, taking an antibiotic when you have a virus increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment. When a doctor prescribes an antibiotic for you or your child, make sure that it is taken exactly as directed. Complete the course even if you are feeling better. If treatment stops too soon, some bacteria may survive and re-infect you.
Remember, antibiotics are effective against bacterial infections, not viral infections.
