Training
For autistic youth, water can be both a source of joy and one of the greatest safety risks. Autistic individuals are 160 times more likely to drown than their neurotypical peers. Spectrum Sailing is committed to transforming this risk into confidence, skills, and safe access to the water through specialized training and education.
Spectrum Sailing has developed the first autism-specific training program focused on sailing and water safety. Designed to educate and support instructors, volunteers, and partners. This training equips individuals with the knowledge and tools to create safe, inclusive, and empowering experiences for autistic sailors.
