The New York State Police announced the introduction of the Autism Awareness – Visor Card Program, designed to assist both members of law enforcement and individuals with autism during public interactions.
The card features simple visual icons that Troopers can use to assist with communication and reduce confusion or fear during interactions with those who are on the Autism spectrum.
Each patrol vehicle will be equipped with a card for use as needed.
In addition, members of the public will be able to download and print the card directly from the New York State Police public website.
