So, we already covered safety skills on land. But what about safety in the water? Drowning is one of the most common causes of death in children and those numbers increase significantly for autistic children. In this episode we review the research on how to teach water safety skills. Would you believe, a lot of them include teaching how to swim? That plus other skills that every child should learn and the most effective ways to teach them.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
