Increasing Accessibility: Enhancing Inclusivity for Autistic and Sensory-Sensitive People

What can you do to cultivate an atmosphere of inclusivity? One in six individuals has a sensory need or disorder, and one in 36 children are diagnosed with autism, with millions of adults undiagnosed. Discover how to better understand these community members to ensure your programs and public spaces are welcoming and accessible. This session will explore data, needs, and strategies to understand how to leverage programs and partners for lasting impact.

Enhancing accessibility measures is vital to creating an environment where all people feel welcomed, comfortable and understood. Learn how your organization can better communicate and engage with the community by changing from a reactive process of inclusion to a proactive process through helpful tools, such as training, sensory guides and other accommodations.
