Family Transition Toolkit Development

Purpose

To equip newly diagnosed families with structured, practical tools that support safe and sustainable medically required gluten-free living across home, school, and community environments.

2026 Pilot Scope

In 2026, the Foundation will develop and pilot a structured Family Transition Toolkit as part of its broader implementation initiative.

Planned components include:

• Plain-language foundational guides for newly diagnosed families
• Home and shared-space safety checklists
• School transition planning templates
• Age-appropriate child education materials
• Curated referral pathways for medical, food access, and advocacy support

All materials will be designed for free digital distribution to ensure equitable access.

2026 Measurable Objectives

As part of the Foundation’s 2026 SMART initiative, this program will:

• Contribute to the development of 3 standardized implementation guides
• Be distributed to at least 250 families during pilot phase
• Collect structured feedback from participating families to refine scalable models for 2027 expansion

Impact Focus

This program reduces preventable health risk, lowers family stress, and improves implementation consistency by replacing fragmented information with structured, reliable systems.
