Niagara University and the First Responders Disability Awareness Training office has developed a survey designed for police officers, fire fighters, and emergency medical services to fill out in an attempt to solicit direct input regarding their interactions, challenges, and needs in response to individuals with disabilities.
We ask that you forward this to your association members, personnel, networks, and anyone you know who would be identified as a first responder.
We are hoping to reach as many responders as possible in NYS so as to ensure our curriculum development is accurate and appropriate in addressing the needs of individuals with disabilities.
