Baker County Florida Capt. Turning's presentation is spot-on for First Responders. He gives a great working definition of what Autism is and how it affects people. He also gives great instructions/recommendations for first responders. Having been involved in searching for missing persons with autism, I'm glad I took the class. I feel much more confident in my future encounters with people with autism.

Informative, educational, passionate Mr. Turning is a great speaker/instructor. He is passionate about his field. He keeps listeners engaged. He shared personal experiences allowing others to understand the importance of autism; including, signs/symptoms and how to engage to provide care/comfort and treatment.

Amazing class An amazing class for all first responders, but especially EMS!! Gerald's passion was great and he taught clearly how we can have empathy with our patients and parents. He gave us simple tools that will truly help us in serving our community better. It was a true honor to sit through his class and look forward to utilizing what he taught us.

As a part of our Mental Health Task… As a part of our Mental Health Task Force, I had the privilege of receiving training on autism from Blue Ridge LLC. This was one of the most impactful, informative training classes I have ever attended. I would highly recommend anyone, first responders and otherwise, to seek this training and information. It could be life-altering when working with a special needs individual or family. A 5 star experience, for sure.

The training webinar I took was perfect… The training webinar I took was perfect for SAR personnel. Very good information on search strategy. Helpful tips to use in all situations.
