Preventing Elopement in Children with ASD

Every parent worries about keeping their children safe at home. The fear might be about the cabinet under the sink where you keep the cleaning supplies, or maybe that pointy corner on a coffee table. For the parents of children with autism, the list of worries grows. If you have a child with elopement issues, you have to constantly consider your environment: is that lock high enough to be out of reach? Can my child figure out this new latching system? It can be a constant source of stress.

If your child’s issue is elopement, there are several things you can do to help ensure that they remain in a safe environment.

Employee Profile: Natasha Reed

My name is Natasha Reed, and I am a Staffing Specialist at Behavior Frontiers. I knew I made the right decision in 2019 when I joined Behavior Frontiers. I was looking for an organization that offered learning and development along with career growth. I wanted to work for a company that would appreciate the loyalty and dedication I put into my work, a company that aligns with my core values and beliefs. My journey started as a part-time Behavior Technician. Within 6 months of being employed, my management team saw my ability to work in a team structure, make decisions, solve problems, my passion for helping families and I was promoted to Senior Behavior Technician. Shortly after, I was offered a Training Coordinator position while still rendering services to families as a Senior Behavior Technician.
