However, today, over 40 years after its passage, school transportation providers are still consistently struggling to safely transport some students with disabilities and to secure the most difficult mobility devices. While wheelchair securement equipment has improved dramatically during this timeframe, even today there are hundreds of wheelchairs on the market which are not designed to be transported.<\/p>\n<p>In this presentation we\u2019ll explore the factors that have contributed to this dynamic, provide extensive troubleshooting practices for difficult mobility devices and occupant securement situations, and offer recommendations- based on our more than 35 years of industry experience- that can help school districts and transportation providers greatly reduce the risk these devices pose to the safety of their students and the liability of the district.<\/p>\n<p>Note: This an advanced course designed for experienced transportation directors, supervisors, and trainers who can help implement the troubleshooting techniques and best practice recommendations within their district. It is strongly recommended that attendees have extensive previous wheelchair securement experience.<\/p>\n<p>(Maximum of 35 participants.

Complicating the exercise will then be the introduction of fake smoke on the bus to hinder the visibility of attendees as the practice evacuating the \u201cchildren\u201d during a fire. The instructors will time the participants on how quickly they can evacuate the bus. The seminar will provide instruction on the proper evacuation of students who ride in wheelchairs and who use various child safety restraint systems.

Speaker:<\/strong> Patrick Mulick<\/p>\n<p><strong>Description<\/strong>: If our students are going to navigate the world as more independent adults, we must start building the bridge to autonomy today\u2014and that bridge begins the moment they step onto the bus. Across the country, many districts are grappling with an over-reliance on 1:1 adults. While these positions are utilized with the best of intentions to ensure safety and stability, an intensive adult presence can unintentionally limit a student's growth and create significant operational and sustainability challenges for transportation departments. In this dynamic and content-rich keynote, school district administrator Patrick Mulick leads a systems-level discussion on rethinking how we support students during the most critical transitions of their school day. This session offers transportation directors, supervisors, and district leaders a practical blueprint for building sustainable support systems that prioritize student agency over adult proximity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_17 et_pb_row et_pb_row_nested et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_32 et_pb_column et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_6_24 et_flex_column_6_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_16 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module preset--group--divi-text--divi-font-body--h19rs5u--default preset--group--divi-text--divi-font-body--h1yjkjr--default preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"color: #1da8a7;\"><b>Breakout Sessions<\/b><\/span><br \/>11:15 a.m. \u2013 12:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_33 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_18_24 et_flex_column_18_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_15 et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_close et_pb_module et_flex_module preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--hm5q2bb--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--h1q6g4r--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font-body--h19rs5u--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--h1rap4w--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--hp5h6dj--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--h10j4yd--default\"><h6 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Breakout Sessions<\/h6><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_18 et_pb_row et_pb_row_nested et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_34 et_pb_column et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_6_24 et_flex_column_6_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_17 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module preset--group--divi-text--divi-font-body--h19rs5u--default preset--group--divi-text--divi-font-body--h1yjkjr--default preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"color: #1da8a7;\"><b>Lunch &amp; Learn<\/b><\/span><br \/>12:45 p.m. \u2013 2 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_35 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_18_24 et_flex_column_18_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_16 et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_close et_pb_module et_flex_module preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--hm5q2bb--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--h1q6g4r--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font-body--h19rs5u--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--h1rap4w--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--hp5h6dj--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--h10j4yd--default\"><h6 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Lunch & Learn<\/h6><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_19 et_pb_row et_pb_row_nested et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_36 et_pb_column et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_6_24 et_flex_column_6_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_18 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module preset--group--divi-text--divi-font-body--h19rs5u--default preset--group--divi-text--divi-font-body--h1yjkjr--default preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"color: #1da8a7;\"><b>Keynote<\/b><\/span><br \/>2 p.m. \u2013 3:15 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_37 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_18_24 et_flex_column_18_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_17 et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_close et_pb_module et_flex_module preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--hm5q2bb--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--h1q6g4r--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font-body--h19rs5u--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--h1rap4w--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--hp5h6dj--default preset--group--divi-toggle--divi-font--h10j4yd--default\"><h6 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Keynote: Preventing and Minimizing Escalated Behaviors<\/h6><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix et_flex_module\"><p><strong>Keynote Speaker:<\/strong> Patrick Mulick<\/p>\n<p><strong>Description<\/strong>: The school bus environment presents a unique set of variables that can exacerbate behavioral challenges for students with disabilities. While escalated behaviors pose significant safety risks and operational disruptions, they are rarely unprovoked. By understanding the physiological and environmental triggers that drive the escalation cycle, transportation professionals can transition from reactive management to proactive prevention. This comprehensive session provides an in-depth analysis of the behavioral escalation cycle within the specific context of student transportation. We will examine how to identify early-stage behaviors and implement strategic interventions to de-escalate situations before they reach a point of crisis. Attendees will explore the delicate balance of maintaining vehicle safety while providing empathetic and impactful support to students in distress.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div
