Creating Inclusive Communities
Supporting individuals who have different ways of thinking and processing information, such as people with autism, is crucial for building inclusive and thriving communities. Autism Friendly Alabama is a program dedicated to making businesses accessible and welcoming for individuals with autism.
What Does Autism Friendly Mean?
Being autism friendly means businesses take steps to accommodate the unique needs of individuals with autism. Simple changes like adjusting sound or lighting, or offering sensory bags, can make a significant difference in helping individuals with autism feel more comfortable and supported.
Benefits for Customers and Employees:
Creating an autism friendly environment not only helps customers feel welcome, but it also benefits employees. By implementing autism-friendly practices, businesses can foster a workplace that is inclusive and understanding for everyone. To support this, Autism Friendly Alabama provides an educational video on autism that businesses can share with their employees, promoting awareness and empathy.
Register and Receive Support:
When your business registers with Autism Friendly Alabama, you become part of a network committed to inclusivity. As a registered business, you will receive a welcome packet that includes a decal to display, showcasing your commitment to being autism friendly. Additionally, sensory bags are provided to help individuals with autism feel more comfortable during their visit.
