Course Description

As more and more people diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder live in the community, the opportunity for interactions with first responders (Police, Firefighters, Emergency Medical Technicians) has increased.Unfortunately, certain aspects of behavior associated with ASD make interactions with these first responders more likely. Crucially, some aspects of training given to first responders is antithetical to what would ordinarily be suggested in clinical practice. This has led to tragic consequences on more than one occasion. What first responders need to know about the Autism Spectrum and what individuals on the Autism Spectrum need to know about first responders will be reviewed. Loved the way stories and examples were used, as well as all the references! Excellent information on training first responders and identifying issues. I appreciate his dry sense of humor and I really liked hearing his own stories of experiences. Super generalizable information that can be used in real life and the training was not like a typical training that sounds like it was out of a text book. I will definitely search for more of his CEU's! I enjoyed the way the speaker referred to personal anecdotes to make his points in interesting ways.
