To provide inclusion in all aspects of community life, governmental agencies and community organizations hold an active role in providing accommodations for people with autism spectrum disorder and other disabilities. There are many ways libraries, recreation programs, schools, court systems, and other community programs can support people with ASD. Use the tools and resources in the Municipal Center to encourage inclusion and participation of people with ASD and all disabilities within your community’s programs and services.
