When EMT Saranika Griffith goes on emergency calls for Lancaster EMS, she is prepared with medical supplies and lifesaving equipment. She also carries an extra bag with tools of a different kind: sunglasses, headphones, bubbles and fidget spinners. As a mother of a 5-year-old boy diagnosed with autism, she knows firsthand that children with special needs and sensory processing disorders require extra care. The tools in Griffith’s bags can help de-escalate tense situations and calm individuals with special needs and sensory processing disorders. “As a mother, it’s my worst fear for my son to be in a situation where somebody thinks he’s being noncompliant or trying to act out when in reality it’s none of that,” says Griffith, 27, of Lebanon. “He just doesn’t understand what he’s being asked to do.”
