Tanya Savko writes the
Teen Autism blog and has a two-part story on a
Dennis Debbaubt seminar.
managing risk for our children is part of our daily safety routine. We don’t have incidents occurring every day, but we still need to have those risk management efforts in place. And in many cases, there is more that we can be doing, even in our own home.
ASD people, throughout their lifetimes, have up to seven times more contact with law enforcement than the general population. Add to that figure the fact that there is a deficit of training for interactions with ASD people, and we have a gap that needs to be filled. Dennis Debbaubt’s training seminars help to fill that gap, but what’s equally important is parents’ willingness to disclose information about their child. We all value our privacy - and need it to protect our children. But if you want to upgrade safety, Dennis points out, you have to give up a little privacy.
I think every family that includes a member with neurological differences should read these two posts.
