Creating Autism-Friendly Events - A Provider Guide
Resource Details
As part of the Sesame Street and Autism initiative, this guide was developed to help you in your work with all children and their families.
Imagine you’re planning a trip to another country, especially one with a different language and dramatically different culture. Without knowing what to expect, or what you were going to do when you landed, you might feel pretty anxious! Similarly, a crowded room is often like a foreign country to people with autism, full of chaos and unpredictability. This guide will help you create calmer, happier transitions that will go a long way in making everyone, particularly children with autism, feel comfortable.
Transforming your space doesn’t have to be expensive or require extensive preparation! Follow the simple tips and activities in this guide and you will see how easy it is to create autism-friendly events.
