BOCC and Calvert County Sheriff's Office
Promote Autism Awareness
|
|
The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners designated April as Autism Awareness Month to help bring attention to, and raise awareness of, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ASD not only affects individuals impacted by the disorder, but also impacts families, friends, schools and local communities. The BOCC commends all those committed to providing outreach, education, advocacy, scientific research and services to those impacted by ASD, and urges all citizens to increase their awareness and understanding of those impacted.
Recently, the Calvert County Sheriff's Office created Autism Awareness decals for vehicles to alert law enforcement that they may encounter an individual with an intellectual or developmental disability. Local residents wishing to obtain a decal are encouraged to stop by the Calvert County Sheriff's Office located at 30 Church St. in Prince Frederick. For more information on the autism project, please email DFC E. Durner at william.durner@calvertcountymd.gov.
