Swimming is not just a nice-to-have skill for autistic kids; it can be a safety issue. Drowning is a leading cause of injury death among autistic children, and many are drawn to water while not understanding its dangers. Baton Rouge has a dedicated adaptive-aquatics program at a swim school, a special-needs instructor with Special Olympics experience, and a seasonal parish program, so families have real options.
Small-group and private adaptive lessons for swimmers with autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, sensory processing differences and hearing impairment, plus a social-skills class for special-needs swimmers ages 3 to 10. Baton Rouge location at 8556 Siegen Lane.
