Wandering Safety Brochure

After hearing the great news that the 8-year-old young man with autism from California who was missing for 24 hours has been found (Story here: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-autistic-boy-20110914,0,5254353.story?track=rss), I thought I'd repost this brochure with safety tips and resources on wandering from the National Autism Association.

Teaching Kids to Line Up

I've posted this before, but I'm using this strategy again this year with many of my students, and it's working very well. I use this strategy to encourage students to line up at my classroom door promptly when asked. They really seem to enjoy it!
