Water safety is very important for children to learn. Especially of concern are children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The National Autism Association reports this startling statistic:
“In 2009, 2010, and 2011, accidental drowning accounted for 91% total U.S. deaths reported in children with an ASD ages 14 and younger subsequent to wandering/elopement.” [Autism & Safety Facts. National Autism Association. Web. 9 May 2016. . ]
