NOW IN THE SPOKANE VALLEY!!!! 

**Please Note: this event is held at Spokane Valley Station 1, 10319 E SPRAGUE AVE, SPOKANE VALLEY, WA 99206 

Autism in the Wild Station days are for first responders, parents, caregivers, and individuals with developmental and/or cognitive impairments.

Objectives:

*Desensitize and prepare special needs individuals to appropriately interact with First Responders in a fun and stress free environment.

*Give First Responders an opportunity to gain experience interacting with individuals affected by ASD and other disorders in a real-time environment.

Autism in the Wild Station Days are held monthly geared for children of all ages and all abilities.

Each session is limited to 10 special needs individuals. Neuro-typical siblings are encouraged to attend as well. RSVP is required when attending one of these sessions.

Families are encouraged to utilize these Autism in the Wild Special Needs Station Visit Days as often as necessary to effectively acclimate their special needs family member to first responders and department vehicles.

**DISCLOSURE: It is our goal to have LAW ENFORCEMENT and FIRE personnel present at each station visit. However, since we are working with a variety of emergency service agencies and community staffing must remain a top priority, law enforcement personnel may be called away due to a city emergency.

**If you RSVP, please be sure to attend as other families are placed on a wait list once the station visit reaches max capacity.
