In an effort to address first-responder tactics, approaches, and resources in fostering relationships with and dealing with individuals with developmental disabilities, the Louisiana Developmental Disabilities Council has contracted with Interaction Advisory Group to conduct virtual training sessions for First Responder Professionals and to host Community Training Events. IAG collaborates with Families Helping Families, Autism Society of LA, and other appropriate entities to help with community participation in the public events, and through those contacts has a self-advocate help with the presentation during the training sessions for both the First Responder Professionals and public community events. Although the sessions for First Responder Professionals are not open to the public, the Community Training Events will be available to all Louisiana residents. This site will be updated as the Community Training Events are scheduled.
