Absolutely love your program! I'm a huge advocate with water safety with kiddos with special needs esp Autism d/t the exact reasons you mentioned. I also agree with the recommendations of LG/LGI and WSI certification. I had all 3 and I am not sure if those career choices early on lead me in this direction but either way it allowed me to be a very well rounded practitioner in the aquatic setting. Thank you for your podcast.

OTR/L, Erika Kemp, makes it very clear that kids on the autism spectrum are extremely vulnerable to drowning incidents. So designing a therapeutic swim intervention is imperative for this population. Teaching swim skills & safety gave families a much needed relief because these kids weren't learning these skills anywhere else. I love how AquOTic is individualized, play-based and child-led. I liked how she showed that this is a billable service to see dressing & showering in real time.

I work in schools and usually work summer school for extended year, which has swimming as a component. While in the water with the students I have used activity analysis and noted sensory processing difficulties but now I see the how I can look at how the student is introduced to the water and how safety awareness can be integrated into their time in the pool. i love the idea of using social stories and songs to reinforce safety around and in the water.
