Safe Travel for All Children: Transporting Children with Special Health Care Needs
Safe Travel for All Children (STAC) is designed to serve as an enrichment course for child passenger safety technicians (CPSTs) who are interested in learning more about adaptive transportation. The training, which lasts approximately two days, combines classroom lectures, discussions, and hands-on exercises. During the training, participants will be introduced to medical conditions that can impact restraint selection and have the opportunity to complete positioning, harnessing, and installation the adaptive restraint systems. The training concludes with an exam that assesses knowledge of the adaptive restraints, proper use, and installation.
