The Kids on the Block Program on

Asthma

Featuring: Scott Whittaker, Jason Robinson and Brenda Dubrowski


Jason is confused when he learns that his friend, Scott, who has asthma, takes karate lessons. Scott explains, "As long as my asthma is under control, I can do just about anything. I just make sure I take my medicine before exercising and doing sports." Scott also explains why he prefers to use words like episode and flare rather than attack, "Attack sounds like something you can't control, something scary that sneaks up on you."

The Kids on the Block Program on Asthma was originally developed in conjunction with The American Lung Association of Northern Ohio and features ten year old Scott Whittaker, who was diagnosed with asthma about six years ago. Script material addresses issues such as involvement in sports, the importance of adhering to an asthma action plan to enable full participation in school and other activities and the emotional impact of asthma.

The complete curriculum consists of large hand-crafted puppets, five scripts, props, follow-up activities and resources.
