"Gerald Turning"

I recently attended a class given by Gerald Turning in Lake City, FL and found it to be extremely informative. The non-verbal quick communication guides provided and tips for investigating missing persons with autism will pay dividends for me in the future.

"Captain Turning did a sensational job…"

Captain Turning did a sensational job giving information that will help me to evaluate situations when coming into contact with folks who deal with Autism from a work perspective. Further, I feel like his personal experience allowed me to become glued into his teaching because it was mostly all first-hand knowledge that he was sharing and he wasn't afraid to get too personal and share even his emotion and shortcomings in situations and how he learned from them. I think more importantly, this gave me a new perspective not just for work but in life. I can now better understand the different aspects of Autism and how it can show in any number of ways. It is a great feeling to gain perspective and I feel much better equipped to come into contact with people with Autism in my everyday life. I would highly recommend this course to anyone, not just emergency responders. The lesson is well thought out and covers all topics well. This was truly the most informative, and I would say, best training that I have ever received that I have sought out myself. Thank you Captain!

"Excellent training"

Excellent training! A must have training for Law enforcement and for all who have an opportunity. Thank you !

"Need to know training for all Law Enforcement"

Great material for the law enforcement side of things to be aware of with individuals we approach on the street and how to handle individuals on the spectrum when we're looking for them or simply run into them doing our duties.

"Learning from a Peer with Real Experience"

I think Jerry having real-life parenting experience and also bringing the LEO perspective to the table was a plus. He used humor as well as other emotions to captivate me. He did not try to downplay either role or point out either as the correct party. He represented both sides and tried to help us find a solution. I thought this training was fantastic!

"This Training was Phenomenal !"

This Training was Phenomenal !! Gerald delivered the training with such passion due to his years in law enforcement as well as having a beautiful son that has Autism. I would recommend this training to ANY agency !!

"The material was organized and easily…"

The material was organized and easily interpreted. Most of all the instructor's life experiences were heart felt and genuine..

"Informative, educational, passionate"

Mr. Turning is a great speaker/instructor. He is passionate about his field. He keeps listeners engaged. He shared personal experiences allowing others to understand the importance of autism; including, signs/symptoms and how to engage to provide care/comfort and treatment.

"5+ Stars! "

Such an eye opening, humbling educational experience! Receiving education on the "why's" of the actions, the motions, sounds, just everything was positively fascinating and has given me an understanding I wish everyone could have. I thought I knew a good bit, enough about autism... I knew nothing but I left the training with such a positive, understanding and craving to know and understand more. The facts provided, the reasoning and explanation of "why", the education combined with the personal stories and examples made the information relatable and personal. I could have listened and learned ALL day. Very engaging! I'm thankful I was able to participate in the training and would definitely recommend that any and everyone who has the possibility to attend do so! Thank you so much!
