Caring for Autism - Response Education
About CARE
In response to the many tragedies in the last few years involving law enforcement's negative and even dangerous interactions with individuals who experience Autism and their caregivers, a nation-wide campaign has begun:
Implementing the CARE model.
Join us in our mission to reduce the number of injuries and deaths caused by law enforcement due to misinterpretation, miscommunication, or inability to identify those with Autism and their caregivers.
We are educating law enforcement nation-wide on how to interpret the CARE symbol, how to respond when this symbol is displayed, and why CARE is a critical tool in deescalating potentially dangerous situations for caregivers and those who receive care.
Help us saturate society with this universal, understandable, instant way to identify caregivers and those to whom care is provided.
CARE combines a simple three step process with a universal symbol so that law enforcement officers can quickly identify, understand, and respond to those with Autism and their caregivers in a safe, effective, and ethical way:
IDENTIFY, COMMUNICATE, INVOLVE
