HAS YOUR DEPARTMENT RECEIVED THE DISABILITY AWARENESS PROGRAM?

The non-bold departments listed below have at least one representative that has gone through our First Responder Disability Awareness Train the Trainer course (Fire/EMS, Law Enforcement, or 911 Dispatch). While this is an impressive list, only a handful of our graduates have actually conducted the training at their departments. The departments in bold have made some attempt to complete the curriculum.

If you see your local department on this list, contact them to ask when they will be conducting disability awareness training. If your department is not on this list, feel free to let them know about our program and encourage them to visit our site and attend an upcoming training.
