Digital Safety & Navigation Field Guide: A Visual Handbook for Independent Living (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798241713032)

Navigating the modern world is complex. From ordering a rideshare to managing social media privacy, the rules of safety are constantly changing. For young adults with disabilities transitioning to independence, these "invisible rules" can be the difference between a safe experience and a dangerous one.

The Digital Safety & Navigation Field Guide is a visual, step-by-step handbook designed by a certified Special Education teacher and legal advocate. It moves beyond simple "Don't do that" rules and teaches the practical skills needed to navigate the digital and physical world with confidence.

Inside this Visual Handbook, you will find:

• Community Safety: The "4-Step Rideshare Check" (Wait, Plate, Face, Ask) to ensure safe travel.

• Digital Privacy: The "Billboard Test" and "Cafeteria Test" to help learners understand what is safe to post online.

• Cyber Defense: How to spot "Red Flag" text messages, phishing scams, and fake friend requests.

• GPS Navigation: A visual guide to using maps, following the "Blue Line," and sending a "Digital Flare" location pin when lost.

• Parent & Caregiver Guide: A dedicated section on how to use the "Co-Pilot Model" to build skills without hovering.

Who is this for? Perfect for Transition Programs, Life Skills Classrooms, and families supporting young adults with Autism, IDD, or other learning differences.

Empower your learner to explore their world-safely.
