SUMMARY:First Responder Autism Awareness Training - Free for all Emergency Responders
DESCRIPTION:Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the fastest-growing neurobiological condition in the world\, which means first responders are more likely than ever to encounter a person with ASD during an emergency response.

Lt. Jimmy Donohoe is the creator of the Take Me Home Program\, a database which allows those who are unable to speak or properly identify themselves to police officers to register with a photo\, physical description and contact information so first responders can provide special assistance that may be required when contact with a person with autism occurs. This program has been distributed to hundreds of law enforcement agencies nationwide and four foreign countries to help people with disabilities during crisis situations. \nHe has served on the National Center on Criminal Justice and Disability National Advisory Committee as well as the Autism Society’s Safe & Sound Task Force and the Autism Pensacola Board of Directors.
