Autism Friendly Business Program

Involvement, Community, Opportunities

What is the Autism Friendly Business Program?

Florida Atlantic CARD鈥檚 Autism Friendly Business objectives are to increase autism awareness and support community involvement by creating safe spaces and no judgment zones for people with autism and their families. To achieve these goals, Florida Atlantic CARD provides businesses with the training and support needed to increase understanding and sensitivity about autism and related disabilities. Upon completion of the training, the business will receive a decal, which they can proudly display to identify their business as 鈥淎utism Friendly鈥�. Businesses will also be acknowledged on the Florida Atlantic CARD website. Support community involvement and become part of the Autism Friendly Business initiative!
