“Engaging with First Responders and Professionals in an Emergency"
Presenters: Holly Mott, Kimi Remenyi, and Lisa Sganga
First responders are the front line support during an emergency. Have you considered the role they play and what you can do to help? This training will offer tips and suggestions on how to engage with first responders, proactive steps you can take, and advice from a parent. In addition, Developmental Disability Services staff will describe how the Major Unusual Incidents department and the Human Rights Committee serve to ensure safety measures are considered before and after an incident occurs.
"Emergency Preparedness"
Presenter: Erica Coleman
This training will provide insight into local hazards and how people living with disabilities can best prepare for them. Training will provide awareness and discussions on the best ways to get prepared for any kind of disaster such as fire, flood, and tornados. You will learn about local hazards and best practice in preparing people with disabilities for a disaster.
"Autism, Safety and Trauma, Oh My!”
Interventions that Embody Safety, Potential and Hope
Presenters: Mary Vicario, LPCC-S and Sondra Williams
Research indicates that some of the most challenging behaviors connected with autism and/or trauma may actually be biologically based fear responses rather than willful behavior. In this interactive presentation and discussion we will explore everyday brain based interventions to help all of us replace challenging, fear based interactions with safety, potential, and hope.
Xavier University is graciously offering one credit hour for $340 with participation in 3 of the 4 dates. Please contact Renee Mattson at mattsonrr@xavier.edu for more information. Payment for this course is separate from registration and must be made through Xavier.
