Please join Kelberman for an Autism Awareness – Listen and Learn Event on April 6, 2024, from 10am to 2:30pm at Redeemer Church, located at 931 Herkimer Road in Utica, in partnership with Better Together at Redeemer, Oneida County Sheriff’s Office and Learning The Language of Our Biggest Fans.
This two-part event will have important information for parents, caregivers, medical providers, first responders, law enforcement agencies and so much more! Registrants may sign up for either part, or both!
PART ONE: Individuals, parents, caregivers and provider agencies come together to talk about the importance of making and changing policies that impact people with Autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. We are inviting all New York State elected officials to attend and take an active role in listening to these conversations and to take action!
PART TWO: The focus is to provide specialized training conducted by First Responders and professionals within the Human Services community to equip the community with initiatives and techniques that yield successful outcomes with interactions involving those with Autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities.
We welcome and encourage participation by parents, first responders, law enforcement agencies, provider agencies and organizations, medical providers, care coordination organizations and anyone who is an active part of the lives of those within the IDD community.
