The Montgomery County Police Department – Autism/Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) Unit will be conducting a driver safety course on Tuesday, November 1, from 2-6pm at Public Safety Headquarters (100 Edison Park Drive) in Gaithersburg to teach those with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities the importance of being a safe driver and what to do if they are pulled over or in an accident. Per MCPD:
“During the course, general driver safety will be discussed, and participants will have the opportunity to participate in mock traffic stops. Participants must first complete an online course, before signing up for the mock traffic stops.
You must also possess a valid driver’s license or learner’s permit. If you do not have a driver’s license or learner’s permit, you can still participate in the online course. To sign up, please use the following link, https://pathfindersforautism.org/traffic-stop-moco/.
The Montgomery County Autism/IDD Unit was established in 2004 and provides a broad approach to safety and action, along with awareness, for those with autism and other intellectual disabilities.”
