SUMMARY:Water Safety and Autism-May 2026
DESCRIPTION:This presentation addresses the critical importance of water safety for individuals on the autism spectrum. Children and adults with autism are at an increased risk around water due to factors such as elopement\, sensory seeking\, and difficulty recognizing danger. Participants will learn why water safety is especially important for the autism community and gain practical\, proactive strategies to reduce risk. \nTopics include understanding water-related risks\, preventing elopement\, using visual supports and social stories\, teaching water rules\, and creating layered safety plans at home and in the community. The session also explores how sensory needs and communication differences can impact behavior around water and how caregivers\, educators\, and first responders can respond effectively in emergency situations. \nThis presentation is ideal for families\, caregivers\, educators\, and first responders who want to improve safety\, preparedness\, and confidence around water for individuals with autism. \nThis presentation is intended for families and caregivers of autistic children and adults\, particularly those with concerns related to elopement\, water attraction\, or limited safety awareness. It is especially relevant ahead of summer and for families living near pools\, lakes\, or other bodies of water\, as well as professionals supporting safety planning.

SUMMARY:Preparing for Summer Break with Children on the Autism Spectrum
DESCRIPTION:This presentation offers practical guidance to help families navigate the transition into summer with confidence and success. We will explore strategies for creating predictable routines\, planning sensory-friendly activities\, and supporting communication needs during schedule changes. Participants will learn how to use visual calendars\, social stories\, and structured choices to reduce anxiety and promote independence. The session will also highlight options for camps\, community programs\, safety planning\, and ways to maintain important skills during the break. Families will leave with tools and resources to make summer enjoyable\, engaging\, and less stressful for children on the autism spectrum. \nThis presentation is designed for parents\, caregivers\, and family members of school-aged children on the autism spectrum. It is especially helpful for families seeking strategies to manage changes in routine\, reduce anxiety\, and plan meaningful activities during summer break while supporting communication\, independence\, and safety.
