About Project Kash

Meet Our Founder

Emily Ransom is a mother, advocate, and special education professional dedicated to improving safety and understanding for individuals on the autism spectrum. She holds a Master’s degree in Special Education with an emphasis in Autism and Emotional Behavioral Disorders, combining academic expertise with deep personal insight.

Emily is the mother of two children diagnosed with autism, including one who is nonverbal, medically complex, and requires intensive support. Her lived experience navigating the challenges of daily life and emergency situations inspired her to create Project KASH in 2026.

Through Project KASH, Emily equips first responders, law enforcement, and community professionals with the training and tools to communicate effectively, de-escalate crisis situations, and respond to the autism community with compassion and confidence.

Emily’s work bridges the gap between professional knowledge and real-life experience, ensuring that every individual with autism is understood, protected, and treated with dignity.
