“Autism De-escalation matters to First Responders is inspiring. The course reinforces protocols that I am previously familiar with. It opened my eyes to different ways of getting compliance. It also showed me that things I have seen in the past haven’t been noncompliance. It definitely made me self-aware of perspective about Autism & has caused me to view my habits differently and helped me find ways to turn potentially negative habits into positive ones. Changing our organization and individual habits will help us move forward and toward our goals of saving lives in our community. ”

“I enjoyed the interaction during the course. It kept me wanting to see what was coming next. I could use the audio, or closed captions, videos and resources are current. I purchased the e-book of the course to have as reference materials for our organization. It’s a very positive and informative resource to have on hand. I also have our Organization Certification as a Leadership Academy posted proudly on the walls of our website and building.”

“I feel the information is so beneficial not only to First Responders but everyone in the world. It will be helpful applying the crisis intervention techniques to everyday life. It made me appreciate the tools that we so often take for granted. I have been emotionally moved by these presentations every time. I really feel people need more guidance in life and this is a wonderful course that can actually Save Lives, Build Partnerships and Strengthen Communities if you apply what’s taught and let it sink in”

“I think it was an excellent and inspiring course that exceeded my expectations. The bright, engaging materials were actually helpful in explaining a lot. , It definitely gave insight to my past and future interactions with the Autism Community. It has touched base on core elements that helped me to learn great information on habits to become a better first responder and leader. Very good material that clearly identifies and met my course goals. I feel empowered to grow in different areas. Even the presenters in the course materials were energetic and promoted encouragement.”

“I’ve always believed being able to de-escalate a situation required some physical contact. Most (if not all) of the topics discussed about Autism were new to me and made me feel more confident when interacting with someone with Autism. It also helped me to think about using non-verbal commands for a longer time & recognize other skills that I hadn’t considered when de-escalating a crisis situation.”
