8/3/22

The Autistic Self Advocacy Network’s motto, “Nothing About Us Without Us,” means that decisions about autism need to be made with input from people with autism. Tina Fletcher (Occupational Therapy, Dallas) and her students took that to heart in a project aimed at evaluating the autism-friendliness of community venues and events.

Fletcher used a $267,477 grant from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to create sensory spaces on wheels for use at cultural arts and entertainment venues, and also developed an environmental audit process for businesses and other public venues.
