Fire Safety for Children with Special Needs Child safety is our priority. Keeping your child safe every day is important to his growth and development. At Riley Hospital for Children, we recognize that making your child's world safe is not always easy. In fact, it can be a full-time job. Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 14. According to the National SAFE KIDS Campaign, about 45 percent of childhood injuries happen in or around the home. And, most of these injuries can be easily prevented through education and the proper use and maintenance of child safety products. That's why we opened the Safety Store, a place where you can buy low-cost child safety products and learn how to keep your youngest family members safe. Welcome to the Safety Store.
Smoke detectors, bike helmets, cabinet locks, outlet covers, and bath water thermometers are some of the products you'll find at the Safety Store-just to name a few! The Safety Store also carries products designed specifically for children with disabilities or special health care needs, making it the first of its kind in the nation to serve all children. The Safety Store provides an environment where parents, like yourself, feel comfortable to shop, learn, and ask questions about their child's safety, all under the roof of a children's hospital. Trained Safety Store associates an on-hand to determine your family's needs and help identify and select products that you need. Your family will also learn how to use and maintain the products and how to practice child safety at home. We can answer your questions. Where is the Safety Store located? What are the Safety Store's hours? Who operates the Safety Store? How do I know which safety products are best for my child? What if I don't know how a safety product is used? Can someone answer my questions about child safety? How can I learn more about the Safety Store? |
