Kids with autism often have a particular fascination with water and are more likely to wander away from caretakers, making backyard pools and lakes particularly dangerous for them. Ilise Kohleriter is a Red Cross Certified ISR swimming instructor who offers year round lessons at two Dallas locations. In addition to her swimming certifications, Ms. Kohleriter has degrees in psychology and social work and has undergone special training in order to teach self-rescue skills to kids with autism.
