Safely Navigating Police Interactions for Adults with IDD and their Parents/Guardians

Trusted Parents is excited to be collaborating with "Let's Talk About It: The Autism Center" to bring to you  a very important topic of how to help your child/young adult with IDD appropriately interact with Law Enforcement Officers.

​

You can expect the following:

• Discussing common misunderstanding or challenges during police encounters

• Strategies to use to keep your loved one calm and focused during police interactions. 

• Address questions or concerns as a parent/caregiver of a person with IDD

• Role play scenarios to practice appropriate interaction with law enforcement

• Allow concerns of parent/guardian to discuss behaviors that their adult child may display while interacting with the police. 

• Discussion around triggers and sensory processing concerns. 

​

Do you have any of the above concerns as a parent/guardian? Then you don't want to miss this very informative Hybrid Parent Focus Group Meeting.

​

We strongly encourage attending this meeting in-person with your loved one diagnosis with IDD, if you live in Mecklenburg County or surrounding areas.  Light refreshments will be provided and a $25 gas card given to the first 5 individuals registering to attend in person.

​

For those interested in attending, but cannot attend in-person, we are also offering it virtually for those who do not live in Mecklenburg county.

Registration is a MUST regardless of how you plan to attend. 

 Please indicate if you plan to attend this workshop in person or virtually when registering.
