Each summer our community suffers great loss. The fear of a child eloping (wandering, escaping, running away) is deeply embedded in the hearts of parents with an autistic child. Elopement isn't due to parent's neglect or lack safety measures in the home. It can happen in a matter of seconds and many autistic children have a knack of opening locked doors. Autistic children commonly wander to water due to the fascination of light dancing on the water's surface. When a child is reported missing in your community, please take action. Immediately stop what you are doing and search the nearest water source in your area. Your action may safe a child's life. The best prevention to drowning is to teach a child to swim. Organizations like Step Into Swim offer scholarships for free swim lessons.

Here are some of the comments/messages I received after my recent assembly at Wood Canyon Elementary (CUSD). This helps prove to me that what I say and do is not just empty words or meaningless performance, but rather something life-changing (which is what I was told after another assembly I did last year in CUSD, that I "truly changed lives." I'm therefore continuing this mission to do these volunteer, from-the-heart assemblies in every school - public and private - in Orange County over the next few years. I'm thankful to see this dream come to fruition, which I had since at least 2019. I'm still a long way to go and humbly ask for as much word-of-mouth/connections as possible. I do have two NMUSD assembly dates later this month, plus a couple of dates scheduled in March and April so far. My immediate goal is every NMUSD school by this June. Here is my video that I made of it afterward: https://lnkd.in/gf-w3YKq #woodcanyon #cusd #capistrano #woodcanyonelementary #woodcanyonpta #woodcanyoncomets #capistranounified #juggling #speaking #motivation #motivational #disability #disabilityinclusion #inclusion #ability #antibullying #abilityawareness #Juggler #speaker #motivator #encouragement #encouragements #disabilityawareness #disabilityacceptance #disabilityadvocate #disabilityadvocacy #autism #aspergers #asd #autistic

Can you imagine how many lives we could change if we made sports more accessible to foster youth and gave them the support they need to succeed in life? Simone Biles, Jimmy Graham, Alonzo Mourning, and so many more have defied the odds and succeeded in their sporting career due to their hard work and determination. At Beyond Our Kin, we’re committed to making a difference in the community and providing youth with the support they deserve. Why not be part of the change, partner with Beyond Our Kin, and make a difference in the world? #empoweringfosteryouth, #defiedtheodds

5 Commandments for Effective Youth Engagement At Pawlehouse Company, we have learnt that young people ignore causes that ignore them - those that tell them what to do. Those that frame them as vulnerable and needing 'empowerment'. As the largest cohort in history, young people remain the most formidable agents of change, at scale and speed. We have simplified our lessons into 5 commandments when it comes to persuading them to rally behind a cause. Let us know what you think. https://lnkd.in/d7uXEj-F
