Course details
Course Overview
This advanced course builds on Securement 101 to provide transportation directors, supervisors, and trainers with practical strategies to safely secure and transport students using complex mobility devices.
The first three lessons explore the factors behind increasingly difficult-to-secure devices, define what effective securement looks like in a school transport environment, and provide troubleshooting guidance for powered mobility devices, scooters, and occupant securement systems.
The final lesson delivers best practice recommendations—based on over 40 years of experience—to help districts reduce risk, improve consistency, and better protect both students and staff.
Course Objectives
After completing Securement 103, students will be able to:
- Understand the regulations and standards that govern the safe transport of students with mobility devices, as well as the industry factors that have led to so many mobility devices being difficult to secure and transport.
- Conduct a pre-securement assessment to determine if a particular device should be transported and explore options to mitigate the risk (for both the agency and student) associated with transporting the device.
- Understand and apply six problem-solving strategies to more effectively secure difficult mobility devices.
- Understand and apply six problem-solving strategies to use the occupant securement more effectively in situations where the student’s disability or the design of the device limits proper belt use.
- Effectively secure and safely transport three and four-wheel scooters.
- Develop policy recommendations and best practices that will increase their district’s competency at handling difficult to secure mobility devices, reduce their liability, and increase student safety.
