Informational card titled "Blue Envelope" designed to assist first responders during interactions with individuals who have disabilities. It lists important vehicle documents—driver’s license, registration, and insurance—and provides guidance such as speaking calmly, using simple language, and avoiding physical contact. It notes possible behaviors like anxiety, non-speaking communication, and wandering, and advises calling 911 in emergencies. Logos from the University of Delaware Center for Disabilities Studies, DMV, and State of Delaware appear at the bottom.
