Drowning is a top safety concern for children with developmental disabilities—especially those with autism who are drawn to water and may elope. In this workshop, swim coach Pamela Eaton offers clear, compassionate guidance on how to prepare your family for safe, fun aquatic experiences.
Learn how to choose swim programs that understand your child’s needs, how to advocate at public pools and beaches, and how to transform water from a risk into a source of connection, therapy, and joy. Plus, discover San Diego and Imperial County programs that provide inclusive access for all.
This session of Parenting Hacks also includes stories and tips from parents of children with disabilities—covering everything from seizure safety to beach-ready gear.
