Keeping kids safe in the car can be tough—especially for families of children on the autism spectrum who may struggle with sensory sensitivities, routine changes and even staying buckled. To support these families, the Complex Behavior Support team at Marcus Autism Center created a specialized Child Passenger Safety program, offering monthly clinics to provide families hands-on guidance to help overcome these barriers.
After a spike in referrals this past year and a growing waitlist, families were going to have to wait at least a year to receive support. Determined to tackle this issue, the Complex Behavior Support team organized a one-day clinic that completed 37 full assessments and cut wait times by five months—helping families travel more safely, confidently and comfortably. Although wait times will remain a challenge, the Complex Behavior Support team is dedicated to doing everything possible to make anything possible for kids on the autism spectrum.
