School and Program Coordination

This video explains why water safety information should be shared across families, schools, camps, therapy providers, and recreation programs. Explore how coordinated communication can create more consistent support during transportation, field trips, instruction, and emergencies.

Shared Information

  • Wandering history or concern indicators
  • Communication supports and preferred prompts
  • Sensory needs and transition planning
  • Transportation and field trip considerations
  • Emergency procedures and contact expectations

Why Coordination Matters

Safety weakens when critical information is siloed. It strengthens when everyone involved understands the individual, the environment, and the plan.

Consistency Across Settings

Programs and families do not need identical systems, but they should share enough information that support remains coherent rather than fragmented.
Good coordination reduces assumptions and strengthens safety.
