New Yorkers may hear a much younger voice making subway announcements today.
One student, Taiko, said he loves the F train, and urges riders to help keep stations clean by using the garbage cans on the platforms.“It seems like a nice thing to do for someone, but it actually holds everyone up. Thank you, and have a nice day,” Jordan’s announcement notes.
“Children with autism regularly engage with the subway system and many enjoy the environment of riding trains, hearing announcements, and viewing the train cars as they go by,” an MTA release on the program notes. Jonathan Trichter is the founder of the Foundry Learning Center, a special needs school that paired with the MTA to make the announcements.
“The MTA holds a special place in the hearts of New York City autistic children,” Trichter wrote in a statement. “I hope other transit systems across the world hear about this project and do something similar to help bring more awareness about autism to their cities and countries. It’s important to know these children are different but similar — and not less.”
