Description: My name is John Sokol. I have been selling on eBay for 23 years (Auction-biz1) I have been a firefighter going on 16 years and I have Asperger's Syndrome. In 2009 I started Ember 911, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit program that taught children with Autism to better understand emergency situations they may get into and to have safer interactions with first responders. In 2012 the program migrated to Prevent-Educate.org and teaching first responders to have safer and better interactions with individuals with Autism. We are now in 2023 and have trained over 20,000 first responders with our free training. I have decided that going forward that everything I sell on eBay will be for the benefit of supporting this all-volunteer program and keeping it free to all first responders. Welcome to our new selling page. Bid with confidence. I have been advocating and teaching First Responder Autism Awareness & Interaction since 2008. I was asked to put the material in book form and I finally did. My background is in the fire service. I have written articles on the subject for just about every industry publication, including the International Journal of Paramedic Practice. Firefighters, EMS and Law Enforcement 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’s not going away. It affects 1 in *36 children being born today. (*CDC 2023) Over 3 million adults also have some level of Autism! You may not really know about Autism unless you know what signs to look for, what to expect and how to interact with an individual with Autism in an emergency situation! We challenge all First Responders to train and be better prepared to handle an emergency involving an individual on the spectrum. First Responders all know that time is never on your side in an emergency situation. This type of training will give you the valuable tools needed to better assess the situation, help you recognize the behaviors, and effectively communicate with individuals with Autism, as well as help reduce the risks to yourself or the individual. The book covers the following subjects: 1. Introduction 2. Understanding Autism 3. TEST - Understanding Autism 4. Communication 5. TEST - Communication 6. Search and Rescue 7. Seizures 8. EMS on Scene 9. Emergency Room 10.TEST - Search and Rescue 11.Restraining 12.Meltdown 13.TEST - Restraining and Meltdown 14.Wandering (Elopement) 15.TEST - Wandering 16.Dispatch Techniques 17.Law Enforcement Officers 18.Field Trips 19.In Conclusion 20.Continuing Education Options 21.Credits 22.Sources 23.Answers to Test Questions The published price for this book is $19.95, I am selling it here on eBay @ a discount, to get it into more First Responders and other people that have regular interactions with individuals with Autism hands!!
