The Training Programs
Autism is a neurological condition that affects communication and social skills. It is estimated that as many as 1 in every 100 children born today will develop some form of autism. The training program for police, fire, EMS, and health care professionals takes a how-to approach to autism, enabling first responders to successfully recognize and interact with autistic persons in a variety of real-life situations. The parent training program approaches the many aspects parents can address ahead of time to prepare for emergencies.
