We wanted to share with you a new video series for families of children
with special needs that Safe Kids USA recently launched
online. The series is designed to help parents and caregivers prevent
unintentional injury to children with special needs and provides them
with the knowledge of what they can do to safety-proof their home. Along
with safety tips and other important information, the videos are now
available for viewing at
www.safekids.org/specialneeds.
Safe
Kids USA is dedicated to preventing unintentional childhood injury,
which is the leading cause of death and disability to children ages 1 to
14. Our new video series, “Keeping Children with Special Needs Safe in
the Home,” will cover five areas that pose great risk of injury and
death to all children under the age of 14 in and around the home: fire
and burn prevention, water safety, and general home safety – which
includes poison, choking and fall prevention.
These videos were
developed in consultation with an advisory panel of experts and
advocates in the field of child developmental disabilities. We are
showcasing one of the five risk areas each month and invite you to use
these videos on your Website and share them with your supporters.
If you’d like to embed our videos on your
site, please visit our
YouTube page. Currently, six of the videos in our series are
available:
