Thank you. • One in five Americans has some kind of disability. Disabilities can be apparent, such as a physical disability that requires a person to use a wheelchair, or non-apparent, such as deafness, or cognitive impairments including mental illness. People with disabilities may require reasonable accommodations in emergency response situations, and their rights to these accommodations are protected by federal disability rights laws. This module is part of a one-hour Disability Training for First Responders from the Ohio Disability and Health Program (ODHP). This training was produced at The Ohio State University Nisonger Center and is designed to give first responders the knowledge and skills required to safely and effectively assist people with disabilities. This training is designed for first responders including law enforcement, firefighters, and EMTs/paramedics. • The training provides an overview of different disability types and accommodations that may be necessary, as well as an overview of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 as it relates to first responders.
