NSH EMS Now Carrying Carter Kits

 

North Shore Health EMS is a proud partner of The Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) program whose aim is to better serve those with sensory issues.

Carter Kits Sensory Bags contain clinically proven items known to comfort and appropriately focus children who are on the autism spectrum, as well as many other children who occasionally find themselves overwhelmed or otherwise impacted by traumatic events.”

Included within these kits are sunglasses to block out flashing lights, earmuffs to muffle out loud noises and sirens, and sensory fidget toys that can provide positive stimuli or distraction.

Medical emergencies can be especially challenging for those with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

It is our goal to better serve and bring comfort to those with sensory concerns.

-Karla, Director of EMS
