SUMMARY:Cuando Se Escapan o Caminan Sin Sentido
DESCRIPTION:Las estadísticas son aterradoras. El 49% de los niños con autismo y 26.7 personas con discapacidades intelectuales / del desarrollo se fugan (a menudo de un entorno seguro)\, más de 1/3 no pueden comunicar su nombre\, dirección o número de teléfono\, y el 71% * de las muertes relacionadas con la deambulación son causadas por ahogo. Este seminario web abordará las razones por las que las personas podrían fugarse\, así como las medidas preventivas de seguridad que los padres y cuidadores pueden implementar. Algunos padres creen que la tecnología es su única solución\, pero explicaremos por qué los padres deben abordar múltiples aspectos de la fuga. Compartiremos nuestros kits de seguridad para el autismo y explicaremos cómo cada herramienta puede beneficiar a las familias. Si su hijo desaparece\, detallaremos qué información será más beneficiosa para la policía de respuesta. A lo largo de la sesión\, los presentadores contarán historias y experiencias personales como padres de niños que se fugaron y describirán el impacto que tiene en toda la familia. \n*La estadística de ahogamientos se actualizó después de que se grabó el seminario web original. \nPresentadoras:\nGicel Martinez and Rosa Lily\, Educadoras de Padres Bilingües\, The Parents’ Place of MD\nLaurie Reyes\, Montgomery Co. Police \n(Esta presentación es una traducción de un seminario web presentado originalmente por el Oficial Laurie Reyes\, DFC Janelle Myers\, Harford County Sheriff’s Office\, y Shelly McLaughlin\, Pathfinders for Autism) \nEste seminario web se realiza en asociación con Sociedad de Autismo del Condado de Howard \nInteractive Online Workshop: When They Wander or Run Away Spanish – Pathfinders for Autism
