Ms. Foubister stated that she is in attendance this evening with Ms. Christina Heinrichs, a resident who has requested the installation of a specialty sign.  Ms. Foubister explained that autism spectrum disorder affects 1 in 66 children. Children and adults with ASD usually have particular characteristics in common, but the condition covers a wide spectrum with individual differences in symptoms and severity. She stated that neighbourhood awareness signs (specialty signs) are helpful safety tools. She added that the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act regulations are encouraging the use of specialty signs with pictures rather than words, and she distributed a sample sign that the City of Sarnia has developed that Kingsville may wish to also consider. Ms. Foubister also stated her agreement with the specialty sign being attached to specific assessment roll numbers for tracking and reference.
