Car safety seats are designed for the typical child with minimal positioning or behavioral needs, but how do the nearly 20% of children with disabilities travel safely if a conventional car seat does not meet their needs? Child Passenger Safety Technicians are left with limited opportunities to build their skillset after tech class or the Safe Travel for All Children enrichment course, often with limited resources or mentoring opportunities. This session will serve as a technical update including tips, tricks, and resources to best meet the family’s needs.

1. Awareness of common medical diagnoses and their car seat challenges
2. Describe when/how various adaptive car seats can be used
3. Participate in real-life case studies to determine which car seat(s) can be used.
