Children with autism are 160 times more likely to experience fatal and nonfatal drowning than their typically developing peers.
To combat these tragedies, the Florida legislature has allocated $1,000,000 to be put toward swimming lesson vouchers for children under the age of 5 whose families have incomes that are at 200% of the poverty level (or below) and children with autism are being prioritized! Open enrollment for vouchers ends March 20th. Get all the information and apply for your child’s voucher here: https://www.watersmartfl.com/
