PT needs your help! 3yr Old with ASD Lacking Safety Awareness

DEAR ERI COMMUNITY

We received this question from one of the school therapists in our community, she would like to hear your thoughts and experiences:

I am a physical therapist working in early intervention. One of my client is a 3 year old boy with ASD . Recently we noticed that if we take him to the park he is unaware of his surroundings. He will not avoid obstacles in his path and has no safety awareness. He actually nearly walk right over a boy on a scooter. Any suggestions on how to address his lack of safety awareness? He has come a long way in early intervention but he is aging out and will start school in September. Any thoughts would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks again Jacqueline PT
