Neuroinclusive Community Participation: Event Onboarding
Community events and gatherings work better when everyone can participate. What this looks like is different for everyone.
This tool helps organizers learn what participants need — and helps participants know what to ask for. It is for everyone — not just people who have asked for changes or adjustments.
Possible ways to use this tool
For organizers and leaders
- Offer this to participants ahead of time
- Offer this to participants upon arrival
- Create your own survey based on some of these ideas
- Use a few of these ideas when you plan your event
For participants
Get ideas for what you might ask for before, during, or after an event.
