LOWCOUNTRY AUTISM FOUNDATION AUTISM IDENTIFICATION

  • Lowcountry Autism Foundation Autism Identification (LAF AID) is a FREE program, in partnership with Beaufort County law enforcement agencies, where first responders are equipped with training on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and families will have access to a personalized ID to help identify their child/adult in the community if they were to get lost. Don’t worry- it is discreet and all the people who need to know will recognize the ID and know to call 911.

  • If your child is an elopement risk and were to wander, the community and first responders will be able to identify the ID and help you much more quickly!

    We took a poll of some of our registered LAF Families. Of the 77 families who participated in the poll, 94.8% said “if the opportunity presented itself, they would be comfortable with their child/adult wearing a bracelet or shoelace tag to indicate they have autism to help first responders identify their child and how to handle the situation”.

  • LAF AID registration will take place at both scheduled in person events and online. Once the participants form is complete they will receive their LAF AID Kit.

    *Your information is protected and will only be shared with LAF and first responders.

THE LAF AID KIT

Once the participants form is complete they will be assigned a LAF ID Number with their kit that includes:

  • 2- Neon yellow sport band bracelets with their unique LAF ID Number

  • 2- Shoe tags with their unique LAF ID number

  • 25- Temporary Tattoos

 

LAF is actively raising funds with hopes to launch LAF AID in the Charleston area by the end of 2022. If you are interested in donating or being a partner of LAF AID, please reach out to Stacy Littin.
