Tips
for First Responders, a 13-page, color-coded, laminated 4.5 x 5.5-inch
field guide. Two new disabilities have been added: autism and multiple chemical sensitivities, and the original tips have been revised.
Tips for First Responders offers information to first responders on how to assist persons with a wide range of disabilities, including: Seniors, People with Service Animals, People with Mobility Challenges, People with Mental Illness, Blind or Visually Impaired People, Deaf or Hard of Hearing People, People with Autism, People with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and People with Cognitive Disabilities.
These tip sheets provide information about many types of disabilities first responders can use during emergencies as well as routine encounters. They are not meant to be comprehensive, but contain specific information that you can read quickly either before or while you are actually responding to an incident.
Over 20,000 copies of the first edition have been ordered by first reponders across the country.
