WHy THIS TRAINING?

In one-third of encounters with autistic individuals, standard enforcement tactics worsen the situation. Your officers are guessing when someone won't comply—not knowing if it's defiance or disability. This training gives them practical tools to distinguish threat from distress, de-escalate without force, and respond with confidence. It's field-tested, integrated with Use of Force frameworks, and designed by someone who's worked both sides: 10 years in justice settings AND 23 + years supporting individuals with autism and IDD.

Threat or distress

" I can't tell if they're a safety threat or if they're just overwhelmed and need help."

BIG BEHAVIOURS

"Big behaviours escalate so quickly-I need to keep everyone safe but I'm worried about making it worse."

DON'T RESPOND

" When they won't respond to my questions or follow directions, I don't know what to do next."

Guesswork

"I feel like I'm guessing—what if I get it wrong and someone gets hurt, complains, or I'm not in compliance?"

It's A Lot

"I'm trying to follow procedure, meet accessibility requirements, keep people safe and stay trauma-informed all at once. It's a lot."

communication

"I don't know how to communicate with someone who is non verbal."
