December 5-7, 2022.
Executive Director Kelsey Schapker spent time over the last three days with all three shifts of the Effingham, Illinois Fire Department, as well as other city leaders, conducting autism training.
Autism training is one of Autism Evansville’s four programs offered to the tri-state area.
Schapker is pictured below with one of the shifts.
Six CAMSE Kits - Cam’s Sensory Equipment tools - were also placed on their fire apparatuses. Schapker developed CAMSE Kit in 2020, before joining our organization.
Thank you to the city of Effingham for being so kind and welcoming! ❤️

11.25.22. SENSORY KITS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE:
In the fall of 2020, before our Executive Director Kelsey Schapker joined Autism Evansville, she created her own nonprofit organization - CAMSE Kit.
Named after her son, Camden, they are sensory equipment kits designed to keep an individual on the autism spectrum, or anyone with sensory needs, calm in an emergency or stressful situation.
Kelsey is the pioneer in the tri-state, and has had endless requests to sell her kits to families. We are proud to partner with Kelsey’s personal mission!
A portion of all proceeds from the purchased kits will go back to Autism Evansville.
To order, click this link:
autismevansville.org/resources/sensory-kit/
CAMSE Kits can be found in 10 agencies across the city, including Evansville Fire Department, Evansville Regional Airport, & Evansville Police Department’s Juvenile Unit.
