The Autism Foundation of Oklahoma is thrilled to announce the successful certification of Arts Council Oklahoma City as an autism-friendly business. This achievement marks a significant milestone in our ongoing mission to foster inclusive environments across the state.
Through dedicated efforts and comprehensive training, Arts Council OKC has demonstrated its commitment to accessibility and inclusivity, ensuring that the arts are accessible to Oklahomans with autism. This certification signifies a major step toward creating a more welcoming community.
“One of the core tenets of our work is that the arts are accessible to all. This is most evident in our All Access Arts programs led by Nick Caudle and Liliana Gordon, who led the team in this certification process,” said Arts Council OKC Executive Director Angela Cozby. “On behalf of our board and staff, we are so proud to be an autism-friendly business, and we commit to incorporating the policies and procedures we learned in future execution of arts events and experiences.”Â
“We commend Arts Council Oklahoma City for their dedication to becoming an autism-friendly organization. Their commitment sets a benchmark for inclusivity within the cultural sector and beyond,” said Kyle Britt, workforce development coordinator at the Autism Foundation of Oklahoma. “We look forward to seeing the positive impact this will have on our community, making the arts more accessible to all.”
The Autism Foundation of Oklahoma invites other organizations to follow in the footsteps of Arts Council OKC by participating in our certification program and committing to inclusivity and accessibility for all individuals.
