We Offer a Private Special Needs Online Profile
We understand that sometimes the details really do matter.
Safety Before Skill partners with Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) and the Dennis Developmental Center to provide additional internal coach education regarding special needs, social stories, and a questionnaire for parents to communicate effectively with their coach.
We offer each parent the opportunity to complete online the "Special Needs Swimmer Profile," designed by Clinicians at ACH and the Dennis Developmental Center. It is a valuable communication tool between the parent and coach.
The link below will guide you to a private form that is emailed directly to Client Services where it will be posted to your private dashboard in our registration system. By completing the questionnaire, you are providing direct communication to the coach regarding your swimmer’s specific needs: https://www.safetybeforeskill.com/special-needs-profile-form.html
