The intervention arm will receive the home visit intervention, consisting of 2 visits to the home by a team consisting of a pediatric medical provider and a school teacher or school support staff member. This team will evaluate the child's home environment to assess for potential asthma triggers that may lead to school absenteeism, and provide strategies and material goods to help reduce those triggers.

The control group will receive standard interventions carried out by the school system for students at risk for chronic absenteeism. Following the study observation period, this control group will then receive the home visits performed for the intervention group.

The intervention will consist of a series of home visitations to chronically absent students with co-morbid asthma. These visits will consist of a home environment evaluation, medication adherence and knowledge assessment, distribution of home environmental allergen reduction items such as mattress and pillow encasements, as well as review and reinforcement of any asthma action plans or care plans provided by patient's primary care physicians or medical home.
