Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death for children with autism. A 10-week therapeutic adaptive swimming pilot study was conducted with individualized swim instruction from an OT or physical therapy student. Parent perspective was investigated to identify the benefits of instruction by a therapist in training. Qualitative themes discovered support swim instruction through an OT lens to increase skills in children with autism.
