Traffic Stop Practice Sessions from Pathfinders for Autism
"EVERYONE feels anxiety when they see that police car light up behind them. You begin to wonder, “Am I in trouble?” “What did I do wrong?” In that moment, slowing down your brain and thinking about what you need to do can be difficult. So it’s time to start thinking about what you should do BEFORE you get pulled over. The goal is to have a safe interaction during a traffic stop."
Sign up now for Traffic Stop Practice Sessions in Harford County (3/30) by clicking the picture below.
