You’ll gain a clear understanding of current safety standards for wheelchair transportation on buses, empowering you to support your team with confidence.
Carly will introduce you to her 3 Steps to Safe Transportation. You will learn to assess and use ready-made transportation forms to document and communicate a student’s transportation needs. Carly will teach you how to use her “Ready to Ride?” Decision-Making Guide to identify and problem-solve safety concerns for bus transportation. She will provide tips and resources to address safety challenges, and when to recommend an alternate transportation plan. Finally, she will share strategies for monitoring and adjusting transportation plans. She will illustrate how this decision-making framework applies to a range of case studies featuring students of varying ages, diagnoses, and transportation challenges.
