Safety:

• Every Autism Speaks event follows an Event Day and Public Gathering Protocol and Safety Checklist. If you are interested in learning more about our safety plan please contact us at Florida@autismspeaks.org.
• Sometimes the environment at an Autism Speaks Walk can become overwhelming for people with sensory sensitivities. All of our walks allow access to a quiet space that can be used as a safe outlet if you or your loved one living with autism becomes overwhelmed. We recommend finding the quiet area of your walk when you arrive and sharing its location with your team for ease of access later on in the day should it be needed.
