NYSP introduces Autism Awareness Visor Card for safer interactions

The New York State Police is introducing a new tool to improve communication and help create safer, more positive interactions with people on the autism spectrum. Key points: The Autism Awareness Visor Card uses simple visual icons to support understanding during encounters. Each patrol vehicle will carry a card, and the public can download/print one from the NYSP website. The program will roll out statewide in the coming weeks. Learn more and access the card here: https://lnkd.in/ekUzhnBQ

This is a great idea. I would love to see more government agencies consider this.

This is GREAT!! As a parent of an adult child with disabilities, I would love to see check boxes for other disabilities - including mental health diagnoses. I fear that my daughter could be injured or worse because she didn’t understand a law enforcement officer instructions. #MentalHealthAwareness
