Fire Safety and Prevention
Most people are hurt or killed in a fire because they don't know what to do. People with developmental disabilities may not be able to take life-saving actions in a timely manner. They may wait for verbal instructions or simply wait to be rescued. This curriculum is designed to teach people with disabilities about home exit plans and smoke detector maintenance so that they can respond independently to fire emergencies in their homes. The Fire Safe curriculum has been pilot tested in California, Minnesota and North Dakota with measurable success. A training manual for the curriculum has recently been added so that service providers can offer this education to people with developmental disabilities. All of these training materials are currently accessible and can be downloaded to use for training.
Through a grant from the U.S. Fire Administration and in partnership with Fire Protection Publications and Oklahoma State University, SEEDS has created a fire safety curriculum designed to meet the learning needs of people with developmental disabilities. 
SEEDS Educational Services created a series of Fire Awareness and Prevention films that feature actors with disabilities and who are fire survivors. The films were designed to be used in conjunction with the curriculum - not to be used alone. The films can be ordered at our Web Store
