Summary
The ALEC Program trains First Responders (Fire, Police and EMS personnel) on autism spectrum disorders and the best practices when involved in a crisis situation with someone diagnosed with autism. The ALEC Program has been in existence since 2003, and the trainers are First Responders who have a loved one diagnosed with autism. First Responders hear from a colleague who has the professional knowledge of the field, as well as the personal experience of having a loved one diagnosed with autism.
