Connections Behavior Planning and Intervention is excited to welcome Dr. Vanessa Tucker, BCBA-D, for another webinar for Behavior Analysts! This event is designed to address safety concerns that are especially prominent for clients and families we serve.
See Dr. Tucker’s other webinars here.
Event Description:
Autistic children, adolescents and adults are often at increased risk of harm or death from common environmental hazards compared to non-autistic peers. Some research has identified specific risks as leading causes of premature death or injury in autistic populations. In this presentation, Dr. Tucker will share 5 of the top safety risks, along with preventative measures to address each of them, and will discuss resources to share with parents, educators, therapists, and others in positions to mediate these risks.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will identify and explore 5 top safety risks their students/children/patients with ASD may experience.
- Participants will identify preventative measures for each of the safety risk areas.
- Participants will identify interventions for each area along with free or low-cost tools to disseminate to families and colleagues.
