While us 80’s kids might have been overly concerned about stranger danger, it doesn’t change the fact that child abduction remains a tragic reality, especially for children with disabilities. Fortunately, we have research! This week we review what procedures exist to teach children abduction prevention skills and, more importantly, which ones actually work.
