PACT is an organization dedicated to training first responders about how to work effectively with people with Autism Spectrum Disorder. They also work within the autism community to ensure our families and individuals are prepared to have a positive interaction in a crisis situation as well.

THE PRODUCTION STORY

 

This cause is very close to our hearts. It has been in the works for almost three years, with a collaboration between over 25 volunteer crew members and actors from all over the world! The piece was filmed in the interview room used by the Bravo reality show, Below Deck. We truly believe that if put in front of enough people, the information in this video can help save the life of someone with Autism.
