NCMEC First Responder Event
This free in-app download consists of TouchChat pages to support the project by The National Center for
Missing and Exploited Children, entitled “How to Host a Sensory Friendly First Responder Event for
Children with Autism”. None of the activities has a link to a Home page, so the Back button in TouchChat
must be used to move from one activity to another. The idea is that the facilitator will set the page for a
specific activity, and then the child will stay on that page. The facilitator will use the Back button to
navigate back to the Home page. By design, some of the pages don’t speak. They are intended to allow
the child to show, rather than tell, the facilitator how he or she is feeling.
