What is C.L.E.A.R.?
CLEAR is a collaborative of individuals and organizations in Santa Clarita, California that focuses attention on the needs of those with "invisible disabilities" who may be misinterpreted or at risk in emergency situations. The goals of CLEAR are to reduce criminal involvement of people with disabilities and promote safe interactions with law enforcement officials. CLEAR creates proactive solutions and innovative educational programs to address these issues. The CLEAR program is administered by the Santa Clarita Autism Asperger Network (SCAAN).
Current CLEAR Projects include:
1. The Special Needs Registry
2. EMFINDERS
3. Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Department trainings on disability and special populations
