KEEP YOUR LOVED ONES SAFE IN AN EMERGENCY

These movable, static WINDOW and DOOR FRAME DECALS alert First Responders and Emergency Personnel that they are responding to a call where an individual on the autism spectrum may be present. This will allow them to provide a more informed and supportive response.
Display the stickers in a visible location in your home or vehicle.
 
NOTE: For privacy concerns, the door frame sticker can be applied on the side of the door frame so that it is only visible when the door is opened.
