911 is for real emergencies: a fire, someone badly hurt, or someone who cannot wake up. The key is teaching the difference between an emergency and a not-emergency, and the exact words: my name, where I am, and what is wrong. Stay on the line. Practice on an unplugged or toy phone so the steps are known, and be clear that pretend calls are not okay. If your child may not be able to speak on a call, teach them to stay on the line even if they cannot talk. Ask your local 911 center whether text-to-911 works where you live; where it does, the advice is call if you can, text if you can't. Keep a card that says your child is autistic, how they communicate, and your number. You know your kid.
Common questions
What if my child won't look at the schedule or story?
That is common at first. Leave it where the moment happens, point to one picture at a time, and keep it low-pressure. Many kids warm up to it after a few calm tries, in their own time.
Can I make this in Spanish?
Yes. Every tool and this page exist in Spanish, and the printed page comes out in the language you choose. Use the language switch at the top.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no signup, and we don’t keep what you type; anything you save stays on your device. Make it, print it, done.
