HOW WE Help
Staff Training
We equip employees with the knowledge to understand and meet the needs of individuals with ASD. Through workshops and hands-on training sessions, staff learn how to recognize sensory sensitivities, engage respectfully, and create a more comfortable experience for all visitors. This training is tailored to each organization’s unique environment, ensuring relevant, actionable insights.
Sensory Assessments
Our team conducts on-site assessments to identify sensory triggers within a space. By evaluating noise levels, lighting, textures, and more, we provide organizations with a sensory profile of their environment, offering practical recommendations that can transform spaces into havens for sensory-sensitive individuals.
Supportive Space Design
Welcoming Spaces specializes in designing autism-friendly environments that promote calm and predictability. Our design recommendations focus on reducing sensory stressors, implementing adaptable sensory technology, and fostering an ambiance that encourages calm interactions. We work with each organization to tailor design solutions, enhancing the overall experience for all visitors.
Customized Visitor Resources
Visitor resources—like sensory tool kits, sensory maps and visual guides—can significantly reduce the cognitive load required to adapt to new environments, and help individuals with ASD navigate new spaces more easily.
Continual Support and Updates
Inclusivity is an ongoing process, and Welcoming Spaces remains committed to supporting organizations as they evolve. We provide continual guidance, check-ins, and updates to ensure that needs are being met, allowing businesses to stay responsive to the needs of all their guests.
