First Responder Training - Working with Persons with Disabilities

We've all read the horrifying news. Across the nation, persons with disabilities find themselves victimized not only by unscrupulous individuals, but also the system. Without clear guidelines, a person with developmental disabilities may easily fall prey to circumstances resulting in incarceration, injury or even death; many of which can be mitigated by simply providing first responders (law enforcement, firefighters, doctors, EMTs, etc.) with a simple-to-use method for quickly identifying communication styles and behaviors one might find in a person with disabilities.
