We believe all children with exceptional needs should have a Safety Plan. Why?
- Children with disabilities are at higher risk of harm during personal or public emergencies than their peers without disabilities; and,
- Having a Safety Plan leads to better outcomes for children, and contributes to parents' greater feelings of security and well-being.
Parents caregivers will be guided through steps including:
- Creating communications groups linking your child’s care team members;
- Walking through how you want your child’s team to respond to different types of personal and public emergencies – and best practices on responding to each;
- Sharing the Safety Plan with care team members – to guide decisions and enable proactive rather than reactive incident response.
Come to this workshop sponsored by Arlington SEPAC and Exceptional Lives, and leave with a customized Safety Plan for your child.
