National ADA Symposium
About This Event
Kristi Avalos will be providing a presentation on this topic.
Topic Description:
The ADA places specific demands on law enforcement and first responder services in communities that impact agency policies and procedures having to do with situations involving people with disabilities. They must include strategies that make interactions between law enforcement officers/first responders and individuals with all types of disabilities safer, more effective, and less dangerous for everyone. This presentation will provide best practices regarding communicating and working with people with visual, hearing, cognitive, mental, sensory, and physical impairments as well as seniors with dementia and people who have service animals.
