VIDEO: Two Coweta County mothers say it is their mission to help teach first responders what to expect in their encounters with children with autism. Emily Chambers and Abby Kimbell aim to educate first responders not only on what to expect but also on how to assist children in need. "My daughter is 3. Her name is Evelyn," said Kimbell. "The main thing for her is difficulty speaking." "My son is Crew," said Chambers. "He is 3-and-a-half years old and looks like a 5-year-old. His autism presents in a more physical way, more of a behavioral way." Emily and her husband Charles started the Inclusion Project Foundation right after their son’s diagnosis. Charles is a deputy with the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office.
