Responding 2 Autism

What an amazing day of learning at Broward College’s Institute of Public Safety. We had the honor of presenting our training to cadets representing multiple agencies from across Broward County.

Opportunities like this are especially meaningful because they allow us to connect with the next generation of first responders before they begin serving our communities. Together, we explored effective strategies for recognizing, understanding, communicating with, and supporting individuals with autism during emergency and non-emergency interactions.

Thank you to Broward College for the opportunity to be part of their cadets’ educational journey.

“The more we know, the better we do”

From all of us with Responding 2 Autism “We remember, we honor and we are forever grateful” 🇺🇸🇺🇸

🌹🕯️🚔 Please join Responding 2 Autism in recognizing and honoring National Police Week 2026; a week-long federal observance taking place from Sunday, May 10, through Saturday, May 16, 2026.

This week, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty so our communities remain safe.

Among those we honor is Sergeant Christopher Reyka, an incredible man, father, husband, and friend who gave his life on August 10, 2007, while protecting the citizens of Pompano Beach. His courage, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten. 🕯️

Established by Congressional joint resolution in 1962, National Police Week is dedicated to honoring the service, courage, and sacrifice of law enforcement officers across the United States, with special remembrance for those who have died or been disabled in the line of duty.

From all of us at Responding 2 Autism, we extend our deepest gratitude to the officers who continue to serve and protect our communities each and every day. 💙

“the more we know the better we do.”

A very special Mother’s Day to all First Responder Moms out there today. 💙🚔❤️🚒
