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.
