Los Angeles County Fire Department issued the following announcement on Sep 24.
Thank you to Pristine Rehab Care and the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation for partnering with us on our inaugural Sirens of Silence community event (9/24/21)!
The first of many, this specially tailored event allowed children with special needs, their families, therapists and firefighters from Fire Station 120 to meet in a sensory-sensitive space and learn from one another.
Promoting autism and special needs awareness, education and inclusion, the LACoFD's Sirens of Silence program consists of three parts: 1) training, information, resources and materials for first responders; 2) sensory-sensitive community events; and 3) safety-related and sensory-sensitive items for patients.
Please visit our website (www.fire.lacounty.gov/Sirens-Of-Silence) for details about the program and to download materials available for use by first responders, therapists, educators, parents, caregivers and more.
