Autism Safety 101 Inc

In 2024, CARD, Autism Safety 101 Inc, and the City of Miramar joined forces to deliver essential autism recognition and response training to 220 police department employees and 53 firefighters. Each of these City of Miramar first responders received 8 hours of in-person training. 🚔🚒 This collaborative effort wouldn’t have been as impactful without the incredible autistic self-advocates who shared their personal stories, offering valuable insights into the lived experiences of those on the spectrum. 🗣️💙 By working together, we're creating a community that is more informed, understanding, and inclusive. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this milestone initiative! 🙌 #AutismAwareness #CommunitySafety #InclusiveTraining #SelfAdvocates #MiramarCares #AutismAcceptance #policeofficer #firefighter #policetraining #lawenforment #lawenformenttraining #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #FirefighterTraining

Great job, Sheriff Craddock and your team at SCSO! Kudos to the Sumner County Sheriff's Office for utilizing drone technology to quickly recover this four-year-old child with autism who went missing!

On Wednesday, I provided autism training to 73 law enforcement officers from across the Rio Grande Valley. After the training, Alex Chief Casares with the Los Fresnos ISD Police Department gave me this card. This card means more to me than the best course evaluation form I’ve ever received. This is what true leadership looks like! Thank you, Chief Casares, for you too mater and are making a positive impact on the lives of students, faculty, and officers!
