Whalen Bringing Disability Awareness Training To First Responders In Arkansas, New Jersey

In Announcements, by , on November 4th, 2014

Arkansas will soon join New York as the only states in the country to provide comprehensive disability awareness training to its first responders.

It will do so via the Niagara University First Responders Disability Awareness Training program, which received a three-year, $130,000 grant from the Arkansas Governor’s Developmental Disabilities Council to implement the curriculum.

First responders are defined as law enforcement officials, firefighters, emergency medical services staffers, and 911 operators.
