Disaster Safety for People with Disabilities: What to Do When Emergency Weather Strikes
Source:
We were contacted by a Special Home Educator, Jenny Wise, who requests us to share the above useful resources on our site. She expressed: As a home-educator to my own special needs child (my youngest has autism), I periodically help other families by taking in their children during class time. I have at least two students I’m fortunate enough to teach semi-regularly who not only have a cognitive disability, but also a physical one. Living in California, where we’re known for having earthquakes and wildfires, I can’t help but think about what would happen if a natural disaster were to occur while one of these special students were under my care. I’ve done a lot of research and consulted with their parents to make sure we’ve done all we can to make sure that everyone — regardless of their physical abilities — has a safety plan.
