Bridge the Gap Between Law Enforcement and the Autism Community with Experience Autism & BE SAFE The Movie
We combined Experience Autism®, a BE SAFE Certificate Course and an Interactive Screening of BE SAFE The Movie, to address the safety of those with autism and related conditions for years to come.
Officers had an overwhelmingly positive reaction to first being trained about autism, and then getting to spend time with youth with autism and similar conditions from the community they serve. In this “eyes on” opportunity they got to know many different people with exceptional needs. They also had a chance to interact and chat with their families and caregivers.
