Neurodevelopmental Training Ordinance gets committee nod

After deliberation and input sharing, the proposed comprehensive neurodevelopmental disorder training for frontline personnel ordinance, principally authored by Councilor Jonjon Rodriguez, has been approved at the committee level.

The measure seeks to require all malls across the city to provide appropriate training for security guards, cashiers, sales staff, and other customer-facing employees.

It will equip them knowledge and skills necessary to better understand and properly assist individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Through this initiative, Rodriguez, chair of the social services committee, continues to demonstrate his commitment to advancing policies that promote the welfare of all sectors of society – especially children and families who require additional support and understanding. (JDO/SP)
