Pennsylvania Premise Alert – Communication Boards

Various communication barriers make it difficult or even impossible for many individuals to ask for help. Police officers, EMTs, and other emergency professionals are often placed in the difficult position of having to gather information from these people.

Our nonverbal communication boards assist professionals and people who cannot make their circumstances clear due to that they speak another language or have a medical condition such as autism, Alzheimer’s syndrome, stroke, traumatic brain injury, unfamiliar or impaired speech, or other difficulties.

These full color icons are easily understood. Text is in English and Spanish. The format is used internationally in special education programs for most ages and functional levels.

Autism Registry Programs

An increasing number of law enforcement, public safety and emergency call centers are now offering voluntary registration for individuals affected by autism and related conditions, especially for those at risk of escapism and dangerous wandering. For those that participate, person-specific can be accessed quickly via mobile computer or dispatch.

Ottawa Police Service and San Diego County Sheriff’s Department offer two fine examples of registry programs currently in use.
