Swimming matters more for autistic children than most parents realize, because drowning is a leading cause of death for kids on the spectrum who wander. Beyond safety, water is often deeply regulating and joyful for sensory-seeking kids. Adaptive swim lessons break skills into smaller steps and pace them to your child.
