New York State has launched new, optional ID cards for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The goal is to help law enforcement and first responders better interact with people who may not be able to effectively explain the situations they are in.
The cards come with mixed reviews, especially on how effective they may be. We explore the issue with our guests. In studio:
- Dalton Letta, autism ambassador
- Rachel Rosner, director of education and support services for AutismUp
- Stephanie Woodward, director of advocacy for the Center for Disability Rights
