Abstract in brief
- This study evaluates a performance-based training approach using simulations to improve law enforcement officers' interactions with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), focusing on reducing unnecessary force and escalation.
- Results from three officers and 24 cadets showed that behavioral skills training (BST) was effective in teaching officers better strategies, highlighting the importance of hands-on practice alongside traditional classroom learning.
- The findings emphasize the need for further research and the potential benefits of incorporating specialized, practical training to help law enforcement engage more successfully with individuals with ASD.]
