Every emergency interaction is different and understanding Autism can make a difference in how those interactions unfold.
Police officers, firefighters, paramedics, emergency dispatchers, and community safety professionals may encounter Autistic individuals in situations where communication differences, sensory needs, or responses to stress can affect the interaction. That’s why Autism-informed training can be an important part of preparing emergency services teams to respond effectively and support more positive outcomes for everyone involved.
Kerry’s Place offers professional training designed specifically with emergency services and community safety professionals in mind. Through practical, evidence-informed learning, teams can strengthen their understanding of Autism and build on the skills they already use every day.
Our training includes From Call to Care: Responding to Emergencies Involving Autistic Persons, along with additional learning opportunities that can be tailored to a team’s needs.
