The death of a 9-year-old with autism highlights the importance of specialized swim lessons for children with autism. Local swim instructor, Lindsay Stone, is working to break down barriers to access these lessons. This comes after four children with autistic backgrounds have died from drowning in different locations within the city within a year. The lessons, which cost around $600, are designed to help children learn about how to stay safe around water. StONE argues that the success of these lessons is due to consistent consistency and parental efforts. The cost of the course is higher than the $16,000 CERTIFICATION for the instructors, but it is more expensive than any other cost.
