It is designed to help these professionals hone their ability to work with individuals who present specific challenges to a successful first response. 

Developed under the guidance of a national advisory board, the DVD provides guidelines for interacting with both adults and children, and places special emphasis on crime victims who have communication and/or intellectual disabilities. (From the introduction). Record #6430
