Ensuring Water Safety for Neurodivergent Children: Practical Tips and Strategies


Listen Later

Water safety is essential for every child, but for neurodivergent kids, it can come with unique challenges. I sit down with Carrie from All Kids Swim to talk about how we can make water safety accessible for all children. Carrie shares practical, easy-to-implement steps that parents and caregivers can use right at home—starting in the bathtub—to help kids build confidence and learn what to do in the water.


We also discuss the harsh reality of drowning statistics and why water safety education is so important. Carrie provides insightful tips on creating a safe environment, advocating for swim lessons that support neurodivergent kids, and helping children develop essential water skills. Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone who simply wants to be more informed, this episode is filled with valuable takeaways that can help keep kids safe.


Tune in for this important conversation, and let’s work together to make water safety a priority for all families.
