ANGOLA, IN (WTVB) – Steuben County Sheriff Rodney Robinson has announced the addition of communication boards to all Sheriff’s patrol vehicles which will assist deputies in communicating with persons who may be non-verbal, have limited English skills, have Autism, or other disabilities or mental health issues.
Robinson says these communication boards were provided to the Sheriff’s Office through a grant from the Autism Society of America and private donations.
With those funds, the Autism Society of Indiana was able to purchase the boards for the Sheriff’s Office.
Training material on how to implement the communication boards was also provided.
