Sensory and Inclusive Community Partners

Mission

To equip businesses/organizations with basic knowledge of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. To ensure confidence, being inclusive and comfort in providing a quality experience for the organization, individuals in need of support, and their families.

Importance

The North Dakota Autism Center, Inc.’s (NDAC) Sensory and Inclusive Community Partnership program, is a bridge between businesses/organizations and those on the developmental disability spectrum. Ultimately, NDAC believes this program will help provide a more inclusive environment to families within the community as well as empower the business or organization to welcome individuals of all abilities.

NDAC will provide a general overview of those in need of support, as well as some tips for interacting with individuals on the spectrum within their business and community. NDAC believes with training for employees of local businesses and organizations we will help to combat the isolation and stigma experienced by those affected by developmental disabilities.
