GBBaker 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.

GBHamden CT Police Department We were honored to have Jerry come speak to our police department for the second time in a few years. His presentation is so engaging and informational, and we already cant wait to have him come back. We invited several police departments to attend and I received such positive feedback from everyone. He sheds light on so many things that I think get overlooked by those who are uninformed. His presentation without a doubt makes us all better officers. Thank you!

GBChanged way of thinking As a Flight medic/ ground medic, I have had several autistic patients over the years and I never had a true understanding of what a person with autism really went through. This class was very informative and changed my view on how to handle situations with them. I had flown out a 2 year old autistic girl that drowned in a pond, her dad found her in less than 5 minutes, she was unresponsive and lifeless, he had just taken his first CPR class a couple months prior and was able to resuscitate her. She is thriving without any long term deficits from the incident. Had he not been trained, the situation would have gone very differently. He turned his back for less than 5 minutes to wash some dishes, and she broke through the screen in the window and went straight for the pond on their property. It is a call I will always remember and an example I use when I teach my CPR classes to the public on its importance.
