General education and tips for EVERYONE to learn about Autism Spectrum Disorder [ASD], Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder [ADHD], and Intellectual + Developmental Disabilities [IDD] (~17% of population) so that EVERY volunteer is ready to love families with neuro-divergent brains!

#2  Buddy System Training

Specialized training to empower any volunteer in confidently providing 1-on-1 support for VIP's (often people with intellectual-developmental disability [IDD], with high support needs), including different instructional scenarios such as how to manage challenging meltdowns and sensory overload.

#3 Security Team Training

Equips safety volunteers to communicate clearly and respond appropriately when medical or behavioral support is needed. Focus areas include distinguishing behavioral crises from security threats, de-escalating sensory overload, hyperactivity countermeasures, and emergency protocols.

#4 Sensory Adaptation Training

We break down the ins and outs of sensory adaptive environments with simple, practical adjustments like softer lighting, quieter zones, visual schedules, flexible seating for movement, and clearly labeled spaces. You don't need a full rennovation, just little tweaks that speak calm and inclusion.

#5 Advanced Program Recommendations

Got the basics down? Great! Now we'll teach you (and provide the content for) advanced programs like developing and retaining volunteers, parent relief nights, parent educational nights, prayer partners, and support groups (yes, plural).
