Description
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, autism
spectrum impacts one out of every 36 children. Individuals on the autism
spectrum are found in school buildings, offices, healthcare facilities,
and throughout the built environment. This presentation will outline
some considerations for fire alarm design when individuals on the autism
spectrum are impacted by the fire alarm signal. We will discuss how a
“that’s the way we’ve always done it” approach to fire alarm design
doesn’t always work when dealing with individuals on the autism
spectrum. The 2025 edition of NFPA 72 will contain new restricted
audible mode operation (RAMO) and a summary of the new language will be
discussed.
