Description: I have been advocating and teaching First Responder Autism Awareness & Interaction since 2008. I have been asked to put the material in book form and I finally did. My background is in the fire service. I have written articles on the subject for just about every industry publication, including the International Journal of Paramedic Practice. Firefighters, EMS and Law Enforcement are trained to handle emergencies. When the world changes around them, they modify training to meet these changes. Now there is a new type of training that needs to be addressed – Training for an Autism emergency! Autism is one of the fastest growing disabilities in the world and it’s not going away. It affects 1 in *54 children being born today. (*CDC 2021) Over 3 million adults also have some level of Autism! You may not really know about Autism unless you know what signs to look for, what to expect and how to interact with an individual with Autism in an emergency situation! We challenge all First Responders to train and be better prepared to handle an emergency involving an individual on the spectrum. First Responders all know that time is never on your side in an emergency situation. This type of training will give you the valuable tools needed to better assess the situation, help you recognize the behaviors, and effectively communicate with individuals with Autism, as well as help reduce the risks to yourself or the individual. The book covers the following subjects: Introduction Understanding Autism TEST - Understanding Autism Communication TEST - Communication Search and Rescue Seizures EMS on Scene Emergency Room TEST - Search and Rescue Restraining Meltdown TEST - Restraining and Meltdown Wandering (Elopement) TEST - Wandering Dispatch Techniques Law Enforcement Officers Field Trips In Conclusion Continuing Education Options Credits Sources Answers to Test QuestionsThe published price for this book is $19.95, I am selling it here on Ebay @ a $8.00 discount, to get it into more First Responders hands!!
