In the community of Birmingham, Alabama, we assessed inclusivity and disability-friendliness of a cluster of popular restaurants. Specifically, a group individuals with varying disabilities visited six restaurants, completing a questionnaire for each. Participants rated levels of sensory stimulation, ease of movement, service quality, and impression of overall disability-friendliness of the establishments. Establishments were also asked about their awareness of ASD and whether they employed individuals who disclosed disabilities.Back to Session: Poster Symposium 4: Community Living & Supports
