WEDNESDAY _ THURSDAY WEDNESDAY, JULY 29 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM WELCOME RECEPTION Cannon Caucus Room on Capitol Hill — Buses leave from Woodrow Wilson bus loop starting at 4:45 PM
Safe Kids officially kicks off its convention in a very official way. The Welcome Reception will be held in the historic Caucus Room of the Cannon House Office Building on Capitol Hill. The child safety heroes of Safe Kids and our elected representatives in the House and Senate will have the opportunity to meet and discuss ways to work together on child safety. We’ll present the Safe Kids Champion for Child Safety Award to the First Lady of Georgia, Sandra Deal, and the senior senator from Ohio, Senator Sherrod Brown. Special guests include the co-chairs of the Congressional Kids Safety Caucus. Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio is deeply committed to protecting the most vulnerable people in the U.S. from preventable injury, our children. At the end of the 113th Congress, he was instrumental in passing bipartisan legislation to prevent Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome. He has been a prominent leader in efforts to regulate e-cigarettes and liquid nicotine because of the special dangers they pose to kids, and a range of consumer safety issues. Sherrod Brown was elected to the Senate in 2006 and previously served as a Member of the House from the 13th District which is based in Cleveland. Prior to joining the Senate, he was a school teacher and grew up working on his family’s farm. He is married to Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Connie Schultz and they have four children and three grandchildren. Sandra Deal, First Lady of Georgia, serves as Chair of the Governor’s Office for Children and Families and the Georgia Children’s Cabinet, where she promotes a statewide effort to strengthen and support families and communities. Among other issues, Sandra Deal has led efforts to increase awareness of the dangers of leaving children alone in a car with the “Look Again” program. She is an advocate for volunteerism and reading with “Read Across Georgia,” visiting more than 500 schools in the state. Mrs. Deal is the daughter of educators and taught for more than 15 years, retiring as a sixth-grade middle school teacher in Hall County, Georgia. The Deals have been married for 48 years and have four children and six grandchildren.
THURSDAY, JULY 30 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM OPENING PLENARY Woodrow Wilson Ballroom

She will address the many ways we are working to strengthen our network, and how we will be using our time together over the next few days to turn ideas into action.

11:15 AM – 12:30 PM SAFETY IN THE HOME & COMMUNITY: Families of Children with Special Needs Made possible by McNeil Consumer Healthcare Magnolia 3
All parents worry about their children’s health, happiness, and general well-being, but parents of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities must often make extraordinary efforts to ensure that their sons and daughters are safe both inside and outside the home. Children with ASD and other special needs may be more likely to act impulsively – to run away or wander – than their typically developing peers. This is only one example of how autistic children are in greater danger of injuries. This session will discuss autism and safety concerns surrounding home, water, poison control, fire, emergencies and transportation for children. We invite you to bring your toughest questions to this session for our panelists to guide us in finding the safest way to keep these children safer in their home or community. Dr. Marilyn Bull, M.D., Morris Green Professor of Pediatrics, Riley Hospital for Children, Adrienne Robertiello, Autism Educator, Children’s Specialized Hospital. Moderated by Lorrie Walker, Training Manager and Technical Advisor for Road Safety, Safe Kids Worldwide.

4:00 PM – 5:15 PM MULTILINGUAL COMMUNITIES: First Steps to Child Passenger Safety Awareness Made possible by Dorel Juvenile Magnolia 3
Building child passenger safety awareness can be daunting. Adding language challenges to the mix makes you realize how much easier it would be to educate if you could just use pictures and videos with simple messages. Whether used in English or translated into another language, our Safe Kids basic presentation on child passenger safety uses slides, embedded videos and pictures for lay people to introduce this topic – especially for those not certified as technicians. We challenge you to try it and make it your own: customize it! This presentation informs and prepares educators who speak one, two or even three languages to take the first step to increasing awareness about child passenger safety in communities where it is not a priority. Monica Cui, Executive Director, Safe Kids China, Dr. Mahmoud Younis, M.D., MSc, Assistant Director of Health Promotion and Community Engagement, Hamad Medical Corporation, Kerry Chausmer, Director of Certification, Safe Kids Worldwide. Moderated by Lorrie Walker, Training Manager and Technical Advisor for Road Safety, Safe Kids Worldwide.
