Welcome to "Keeping Runners Safe – Safety and Autism", an interactive presentation in partnership with Autism Ontario the Windsor Essex Chapter and Autism & Behavioural Services.

This virtual, one-hour presentation is designed for parents and caregivers of children who would like to identify risks, prepare for those risks and make a plan to teach. The presentation will focus on children with autism, but all parents or professionals are welcome to join.

This presentation is suitable for all ages and abilities but does focus on high risk individuals and situations. We will provide a checklist that will help you start to assess potential risks and we will identify where to go to get a safety plan specific to your child.



If your child or youth is registered with the Ontario Autism Program, you will have the opportunity to schedule follow-up sessions. These sessions will help you apply the information learned to your specific situation and find ways to easily fit teaching and practice into your family routines.

Since this workshop is funded by the Ontario Autism Program (OAP) as a Foundational Family Service, examples provided during the workshop will tend to focus on children with a diagnosis of autism. 



You will be asked for your OAP Client Information Reference Number during registration. If you believe your child is registered with the OAP and need help finding your number, watch this video, https://youtube/VjTC3aZNyZQ, or email abs@tvcc.on.ca.
