ACCESS Division 33 is the official podcast of Division 33 of the American Psychological Association. In each episode, a member of our Division is interviewed, discussing their work and why it is important to the lives of individuals with IDD and ASD and those who support them.
In this episode, Dr. Megan Stone-Heaberlin and Dr. Lauren Schmitt (Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center) discuss their development of a training program to improve communication between first responders and autistic community members. They share advice, insights, and initial findings from police officers and autistic self-advocates who participated in the training. (10 min)
