Trainer is very knowledgeable on the subject.
The fact that he has a son who has autism makes him that much more passionate about the subject and it shows!

Instructor is both very knowledgeable and very passionate about the subject matter. His experience as a first responder is evident and he makes the training relatable.

Very informative presentation from someone who cares a lot about the subject matter.

I thought the instructor did a great job on explaining what autism is and signs to look for when a patrol officer or someone not familiar with autism, should look for and understand.

Great training lots of important information. Should def be included in every police academy. Thank you

The course was well-presented and the speaker was well-spoken. The information was at the perfect level of informative but not too technical or overwhelming.

Concrete details about what to do while on patrol.

I learned behavioral ques which i wasn't familiar with before. I had heard of stimming before as well but didn't know what it meant. Thanks to StreetCopTraning who encouraged Capt. Gerald to give out a few free courses. Half of my agency has already signed up for the training.

Captain Turning made this information accessible and understandable and drove home the point that it is absolutely critical. Great examples and videos of real-life situations. All first responders need this information, especially because it is not just lumped in with training on mental health issues and drug use. Autism is common and unique and deserves its own category. This is what Captain Turning has done. Bravo!

I learned so much to help me in my job and working with individuals with Autism. The tips and suggestions offered will help me. Also learning how things are processed differently will have me approach thing differently. I highly recommend this class for all first responders!

This training was very impactful!! Cpt. Turning did a great job not only presenting the material but the passion he has when he presents is unmistakable. He is not only thorough in the providing valuable information but does it well in a clear and concise manner. It is really a great training to put in your tool belt. The insight you get from this is eye opening.

Going on 15 years of working in the emergency services I found this class very interesting and filled with great information.

The two impacts from this training, are empathy and transparency. Having the empathy to see things from another's point of view, the father of a child with autism who is/was also a law enforcement officer. Empathy to realize that what may be our norm, is not their norm and to learn how to help them. Transparency in Captain (R) Turning's approach that in some situations, without the knowledge and training he provides, officers may misread the situation, conduct business as ususal, doing everything within the norms of policy and procedure, and have some catastrophic results.

This training class has helped me learn more techniques on how to help individuals with Autism. I will be using these techniques when I need to in the future.

The presentation was presented in a way that was respectful to those with autism and helps those who don’t have autism understand what we are thinking/going through. I was beyond impressed with how Jerry Turning was able to talk about things that I didn’t know about myself, but made sense as soon as he said it. He was respectful to his audience who had questions and related to those who have autistic/special needs children. He showed that we are no different than neurotypical people, just a little slower on the uptake and express emotions differently. I normally have at least one thing to say to do better for next time, but I have nothing. This was the best training I have ever gone through. I learned so much for situations that I could run into as well as learning about myself and what I have been trying to tell others for YEARS. I would take any class presented by this group, ESPECIALLY if the presenter is Jerry Turning.

Instructor was engaging and the ability to discuss both sides, parent and LEO, was very much appreciated. Having a daughter just diagnosed as on the spectrum at 16 yo, I believe my wife and I probably missed some indicators much earlier in her life that were discussed in the class.

Very insightful. Relatable. Empathetic perspective.
