Before the training begins, organizational pre-assessments & analysis of the information are completed to determine what your employees are feeling & what is needed for members of your organization. This allows us to give your employees what they need, instead of what we want them to have. The resources keep students engaged and empowered. This type of collaborative buy-in not only helps with the anxiety that goes along with implementing these types of topics, but ensures that employees know their voice matters.
This course will provide Self-Assured & Safe Interactions with the community with heightened morale & confidence when entering a crisis situation. Remember that there are many individuals who can benefit from de-escalation. Some may have impaired cognitive & communication abilities but if they suffer any type of impairment De-Escalation Matters!
The training provides real world Role-Play Scenarios. Role-Plays are diverse and provide the opportunity to demonstrate Crisis Intervention Techniques based on real world interactions. We also have various interactive discussion boards and learning communities for students that provide a collaborative environment to learn, gain hands-on knowledge, and discover insider tips on interesting new skills or careers.

“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. ”
Sim Portee, COO, Portee Enterprises
“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.”
Becky Travenski, Project Manager
“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”
Dr. Jennifer, serving others through her love of real estate
“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.”
First Responder, Behavioral Health Organization
