With the rise in autism diagnosis rates, it isn't a question of IF an autism episode will occur, but WHEN. One negative review or experience from an employee/business that was not trained could cost a lot in negative press. Being autism aware and participating in the training and certification can be of tremendous help in such a situation. Local and tourist families plan trips to aware businesses because of your dedication to their families and their specific sensory needs and accommodations. Our goal is to support families with autism and increase economic opportunity for the businesses that support them. Autism families are extremely loyal. Children/people on the spectrum crave routine and familiar surroundings. Once a family has had a successful visit to your establishment, you can bet they will be back AND tell their friends about the experience. It isn't rocket science. All you have to do is Lead With Love.
