EMS & Fire Rescue

The Autism, Fire-Rescue and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Digital Video features children with autism at various points on the autism spectrum, interviews with and advice from with Fire-Rescue and Emergency Medical Services autism training experts, and scenarios developed from real life field situations.

This 16 minute video illustrates autism related first responder dispatches while offering tips and tactics to enhance communications and manage sensory influences that can cause behavioral outbursts in the field and emergency room. State-of-the-art editing, creative scenarios, persons with autism and action make this video the perfect tool for professional fire-rescue and emergency medical services to train first responders on how to interact with people with autism.

Our training teaches critical decision making and safety skills to find success when interacting with a person with autism. The Autism, Fire-Rescue and Emergency Medical Services Digital Video brings that message home to any training situation.
