Firefighters and EMTs are trained to handle emergencies. When the world changes around them, they modify training to meet these changes. Now there is a new type of training that needs to be addressed—training for an autism emergency. Autism is one of the fastest growing disabilities in the world and it is not going away. New statistics show that at least a million children and adults have a diagnosis of autism or a related disorder, like Asperger syndrome or "pervasive developmental disorder, not otherwise specified," also known as P.D.D.-N.O.S. 1 out of every 88 children in the U.S. is born with some level of autism (CDC 2012) This is up 78% in the past decade.

This course has national CECBEMS accreditation for (5) hours of continuing education hours in BLS, ALS and First Responders. (CECBEMS is the national accrediting body for EMS continuing education courses and course providers) It has been approved for required EMS continuing education hours in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
