Ataxia Medical Awareness ID Card

Ataxia symptoms can often be mistaken for drunkenness, leading some to describe the condition as resembling intoxication. It affects balance and speech, making it crucial for first responders to understand that the individual is not under the influence of alcohol but rather dealing with a neurological issue.

Understanding the distinct nature of ataxia becomes crucial for first responders, as it allows them to differentiate between alcohol-related impairment and the presence of a neurological disorder. By recognising that ataxia is the underlying cause, they can provide appropriate assistance and support to individuals affected by this condition.

These specially designed cards serve as a valuable aid in communicating crucial information. With space for two emergency contact names and numbers on the back, they ensure that vital contacts can be readily accessed during an emergency. Additionally, the front of the card prominently displays your name for easy identification.

Measuring 86mm by 54mm, these cards are conveniently sized to fit into wallets or purses, just like a credit card (3.38 inches by 2.13 inches). Alternatively, they can be displayed using a lanyard or card clip, allowing for quick visibility and accessibility when needed.
