Item ICE_Autism - Emergency Information Card Highly Durable Dye Sublimation PVC card
(Standard credit card size 3.375" x 2.125" ) Trying to offer something for our older children, at some age the buttons and zipper tags are no longer be age appropriate for our children. With this in mind we need to provide them with something to help them during times of trouble.
This could be one answer.
Contact information is written on the back sealed with tape and carried in a pocket, wallet or purse. Tell them if they are ever in trouble to show this to someone who could help.
As parents and caregivers, we may not want to think about this, but there is no escaping the fact that people with autism are at increased risk for many emergencies compared to others their age.
Because people with autism have no identifying physical characteristics, their disability may not be immediately apparent to others. This means that police, firefighters and the general public may expect responses that the person with autism may not be capable of making. In fact, odd behaviors can be misunderstood and actually lead to an emergency.
You know your loved one‘s better than anyone, so you are the best person to safeguard them. This is still a work in progress, if you have suggestions or comments please send them my way...Thanks for looking Richard, Sarah's Dad |
