3 Steps to Safe Transportation for Students with Wheeled Mobility
Role of Related Services and Practical Solutions
Are you looking for best practices in supporting bus transportation for students who use wheeled mobility? Look no further! Join Carly for practical tools and strategies for decision-making and ensure safe transportation for your students.
Carly begins the seminar by emphasizing that transportation is a related service in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). You will explore how OT and PT practitioners contribute to the team through direct interventions, consulting, collaborating, and training. 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.
