R.O.C.K. is a support group for parents, families and friends of kids with
celiac disease or gluten intolerance. We welcome families of children with
autism involved in a gluten-free/casein-free dietary intervention program,
as well as wheat allergies. We concentrate on dealing with the unique
challenges that we have, including:

€Finding ³fun² gluten-free treats for kids
€Menu ideas for school lunches, quick dinners, and sports snacks
€Helping kids to take responsibility for reading labels, cooking and
planning/preparing food
€How to prepare for unexpected birthday parties and food-oriented activities
at school, church and elsewhere
€Halloween, Easter and other special days ‹ how do we include our kids
safely?
€Educating daycare providers and teachers
€Dealing with grandparents, babysitters, and ³helpful² friends who offer
gluten-containing foods to our kids
€Ensuring our kids won¹t cheat, and what to do when they do
€Sending kids away to camp, friend¹s houses, and other times when we¹re not
around to help
€The psychological impact of growing up with celiac
disease (peer pressure, teenage years, and more)

R.O.C.K was founded by Danna Korn in 1991 after her son, Tyler, was
diagnosed with celiac disease. It has grown to international proportions,
helping families all over the world deal with the unique challenges of
raising a child on a gluten-free diet. Danna has written a book called, Kids
with Celiac Disease: A Family Guide to Raising Happy, Healthy Gluten Free
Children.
