Autism Water Sliding! Big Splash! Big Fun! | Exploring Autism
The waterslide at the Crowne Plaza Montreal Airport hotel was the first time Aiden experienced a waterslide. Prior to this Aiden had been scarred of the water and swimming pools. When he saw the big slide and all of the kids having fun he could not wait to get jump in and go down the water slide.
After this experience I have used the reward of going on a waterslide as a part of Aiden’s applied behavioural analysis therapy (ABA).
I highly recommend the Crowne Plaza Montreal Airport for families with children who like to enjoy the water and water slides!
