With the school year underway, we thought it was an appropriate time to provide caregivers with guidance on how to navigate school when you have a child with a rheumatic disease, as school can present unique challenges. We have the answer in this short video, acr.tw/4AnCORT, with board-certified Pediatric Rheumatologist, Dr. Miriah Gillispie-Taylor, answering this question and more as part of our playlist, Little Joints, Big Questions. This video explores the value of communication between families, educators, school nurses, and health care teams.
Check out the official website for Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month at RDAM.org for additional resources to help families navigate life with rheumatic disease. #RDAM #PedsRheum
Thank you, @CAgovernor for signing #AB2009 by @PhillipChenCA and @AsmSolache. By modernizing California’s source plasma donation center regulations, this law will ensure that patients who depend on plasma-derived medicines have access to them when they need them most.

Fibromyalgia is not “imagined pain.”
The largest genetic study to date - spanning 2.5 million individuals - identified 26 genetic risk loci, strengthening the biological basis of fibromyalgia and opening new paths to understanding pain biology.
A meaningful step forward in a condition that patients have long struggled to have taken seriously.

ASBM’s former chairman, Dr. Madelaine Feldman, participated in the first panel of yesterday's #AfPASummit26: “The bottom line in pricing needs to be brought back to the patient’s ability to access the medication. For example -Many times affordability could be achieved by allowing the patient to pay their cost share (co-insurance) on the lowest post rebate/discount price of the drug.—including by basing cost-sharing on the lowest post-rebate price, especially for Part B drugs." @MattieRheumMD @patientaccess @LADAOrg @GlobalCRC @WarOnCancer @CSROAdvocacy

Overwhelmed patient. Overloaded provider. An appointment that misses the mark despite good intentions.

Supporting a student with lupus takes more than awareness—it takes practical tools. As students with lupus head back to the classroom, you can play an important role in helping them stay healthy, supported, and engaged in learning. Download our free resources to learn more → RDAM.org

Rheumatic Disease Awareness Month (RDAM) offers a powerful moment to highlight pediatric rheumatology and its 50-year legacy of improving children’s lives.
Under the theme Little Joints, Big Impact, we recognize how pediatric rheumatic diseases affect growth, school participation, and family life—and celebrate the pediatric rheumatologists, teams, and advocates who have advanced early diagnosis, multidisciplinary care, and better outcomes for young patients.
Join us in amplifying pediatric rheumatology during RDAM: share educational resources, support referral pathways, and help ensure that children with rheumatic disease receive the timely, expert care they deserve. Visit RDAM.org for more information.
