FIRST RESPONDER AUTISM TRAINING

The MCA Special Needs Program invites first responders, community partners, and all interested community members to take part in a First Responder Autism Training led by retired Lieutenant Jimmy Donohoe and retired Fire Captain Bill Cannata.

Anyone interested in learning more about autism and how to provide support is welcome to attend. No first responder experience is required.

This training will provide practical knowledge and guidance on understanding and recognizing autism, responding to individuals with autism during emergency situations, and the importance of preparedness and a thoughtful approach. The goal is to help participants feel more confident and prepared when supporting individuals with autism.
