S.A.F.E.-T. Skills for All: In this ethics presentation, participants will learn how to assess, define, and teach essential safety skills for individuals with autism and developmental disabilities, grounded in the ethical responsibility to protect health, safety, and dignity. A semi-structured safety assessment will be introduced to identify strengths, risks, and priority learning areas across domains such as fire safety, water safety, wandering prevention, and in-school safety. Attendees will practice translating assessment results into individualized, observable, and measurable goals, and will apply Behavioral Skills Training (instruction, modeling, rehearsal, feedback) to promote acquisition and generalization of critical safety skills. By the conclusion, participants will be able to identify at least three priority safety skills, select aligned goals from a safety goal bank, and design a BST plan to support mastery and maintenance across home, school, and community settings.
