Jacqueline Laurita Instagram – Alternative smoke alarms are so important for our learners who are unable to tolerate traditional alarms. It’s crucial to get an alarm that works for your learner and teach them how to safely respond using repeated practice.
In honor of Fire Prevention Week and AAC Awareness Month 2024, Pyramid Educational Consultants @pecsglobal and the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation (AARBF) @aarbf, have teamed up to create a Smoke Alarm Safety infographic to help learners who benefit from using visual directions and resources.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) theme for 2024 is “Smoke Alarms: Make Them Work for You!™.” There are many types of smoke alarms available to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities and communication challenges. This colorful infographic is designed to help families and educators be better prepared for fire emergencies by choosing the best smoke alarm for their learners and practicing the skills to respond to smoke alarms. An additional teaching guide is also available to help with teaching these important skills.
Fire Safety Education is the first line of defense against fire fatalities and injuries. For more fire and burn safety resources please visit these websites to learn about our NICK Fire & Burn Safety resources. Named for my son Nicholas, these resources are designed to bring fire and burn safety education to individuals on the autism spectrum, those with developmental disabilities or communication challenges, and pre-school aged children.
