Meet Kathrine Peereboom, Australia’s first Autism and Law Enforcement trainer.
Having founded Spectrum Support in 2017, Kathrine Peereboom sits down with Get It Magazine’s Holly Bartter to share her story of family, forward thinking, and the work her charity is doing to educate law enforcement in understanding and managing ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) in the field.
“You know when you start up a business and you’re so passionate that it’s blood, sweat and tears, it’s not until you have someone say, ‘What you you’re doing is really remarkable’ that you take a step back and lift your head out of the sand.”
SBS speak with Leesa Topic on the senseless death of her daughter Courtney and how she is behind law enforcement learning about autistic behaviours
There is a strong autism community out there and it can be easy to forget that for the majority of Australians they have limited exposure to what autistic traits may be. Thank you to Mama Mag for this wonderful article.
