Autism, Wandering, and Drowning Risk - 4/2/2026

Virtual — Zoom  
Thursday, April 02, 2026 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM   Export to iCalendar Eastern Standard Time

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder face unique danger when missing, especially when the child has wandered or eloped from a safe location. Children who wander or elope are substantially more likely to enter water and drown, accounting for 87% of the 95 children and young adults recovered deceased in 2025. This alarming pattern and the extreme speed at which wandering becomes fatal requires a solid and prepared response from law enforcement, the community at large, and caregivers. This course will help you to understand the reality of wandering related deaths and discuss prevention and response strategies.
