Keeping Your Child with ASD Safe: Wandering and Running Away
Parents and caregivers view the safety of their children as a significant concern.
Many children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are reported to wander or elope, making them more prone to leaving the safety of a caregiver or support person and wandering from their home, school or community setting.
This causes significant risk for those who may not be aware of possible dangers or harm and puts tremendous stress on families.
In this session, you will learn tips and tools you can use to help anticipate the risks, avoid the dangers, and teach the skills your child needs to stay safe at home and in the community.
