Ausometism Autism Elopement Safety Plan
Safety begins before the emergency.
The Ausometism Autism Elopement Safety Plan is a practical printable resource designed to help parents and caregivers prepare for wandering and elopement situations before they happen.
When an autistic child or individual has limited communication, is non-verbal, or may wander unexpectedly, having important safety information organized in one place can make a critical difference during an emergency.
This easy-to-use safety plan helps families document essential information that can be shared with caregivers, teachers, school staff, family members, first responders, and others involved in their loved one’s care.
Your Safety Plan Includes:
- Important personal and emergency contact information
- Space for a current photo
- Communication and support needs
- Common triggers and behaviors
- Favorite places or locations the individual may go
- Wandering and elopement information
- Helpful calming strategies
- Important notes for caregivers and first responders
Why Every Family Should Have One
Elopement can happen quickly—at home, school, stores, parks, family gatherings, or in the community. A written safety plan gives the people around your loved one important information they may need when every minute matters.
Print a copy for your home, school, caregiver, or emergency safety folder and update it whenever information changes.
