Autism Friendly Business

Autism Friendly Business Service providers in Louisville Metro area working to build stronger integration of services & partnerships to offer best programs to children with autism.

The Autism Friendly Community working group came together for the common cause of building stronger integration of services and partnerships that create easier access to high quality comprehensive services for autistic children. The working group partners will work together to identify and protect funding sources that are currently utilized for needed programs and will identify possible additiona

l funding sources to support increased integration of Autism Awareness efforts and services. This group will develop and jointly utilize compelling data that will emphasize longer term costs for not investing in programs today. The partners will collaborate to determine gaps in services throughout the community and will be key in addressing the gaps through joint proposals and partnerships. The partners will strive to improve and refine existing programs by reviewing best practices to ensure that programs within and outside of the working group are providing high quality services for children with autism.

Congratulations to Charlestown Police Department for becoming Autism Friendly Business Certified!

"The Charlestown Police Department is committed to serving every member of our community with professionalism, compassion, respect, and understanding. Our officers continually receive training in autism awareness, mental health response, crisis communication, and effective interpersonal communication to better serve individuals from all backgrounds and abilities.

We recognize that every person and every interaction is unique. Through ongoing education and community-focused policing, we strive to build trust and create positive relationships with all residents, including individuals with special needs and their families.

To further support inclusivity and improve communication during traffic stops and other encounters, the Charlestown Police Department developed the Blue Envelope Program. This program is designed to help drivers with autism and police officers communicate more effectively by providing important information in a clear and supportive manner during interactions."
