Why Become an Autism Inclusive Campus Designation Institution?
A Commitment, Not a Competition
The Autism Inclusive Campus Designation is not a ranking system or award for perfection. Rather, it recognizes institutions that are committed to evaluating their current practices, engaging in continuous improvement, and partnering with autistic and neurodivergent community members to create more inclusive campus environments over time.
Three Great Reasons to Become an Autism Inclusive Campus Designated Institution
-
Join a growing community of institutions committed to the success of strengthening neuroinclusion and supporting autistic and other neurodivergent students, faculty, and staff.
-
Receive specific, evidence-based feedback and guidance on how to best serve autistic and neurodivergent students from CAN-trained reviewers throughout the 2 year-process of designation with continued collaboration in follow-up years.
-
Ensure that your institution’s campus climate, culture, spaces, courses, and more are inclusive of all students, as well as all faculty and staff. Increase their sense of belonging and their potential for success, completion, and retention.
