Autism Society, Water Safety

 

Autism Acceptance Month is almost here!
National Water Safety Month

The Autism Society’s Safety on the Spectrum™ Water and Wandering Program is a national effort to increase water safety education and training across the Autism community. The program works to not only prevent wandering-related tragedies, but to increase water safety skills among Autistic individuals and their families. The Autism Society of America developed an adaptive aquatics curriculum that supports instructors and the Autism community nationwide. The initiative focuses on proactive programming, prevention, and improved responses to wandering incidents.

Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death in the Autism community, but it’s preventable. Join us Thursday, May 22, at 8 PM ET for our free Water Safety and Drowning Prevention webinar, presented by the Autism Society and Dayna Harvey.


Designed for parents, caregivers, and community members, this session shares practical tools to prevent drowning and promote water safety in the Autism community. Attendees will learn key risks and leave with five actionable strategies plus access to valuable safety resources.
