“This is awesome! Bristol Community College students involved in their honors club held a sensory toy drive for those on the spectrum back in January for a service project. They were able to make 50 kits to pass out!
Today, they stopped by our headquarters to donate some sensory kits, and will also be passing them out to surrounding police departments (They even brought a future police officer with them!) Thank you so much, we will be sure to hand these out to our officers!
Autism Spectrum Disorder is defined as a developmental disorder that has a wide range of severity and characteristics. People with ASD may struggle in social settings due to having a hard time communicating appropriately. Those with ASD absorb information differently, which will make them learn differently, pay attention to things differently, and read things differently as well.
Let’s raise awareness for #autismawarenessmonth” -New Bedford Police Department.
