The Accessibility Institute at Carleton University and Sinneave Family Foundation are currently working to promote “Neuroinclusivity in Housing”.
“Neuroinclusivity in Housing aims to facilitate knowledge exchange and applied research to move neuroinclusive housing solutions forward. We curate and share good practices, tools, and resources, which may be useful for others in the housing ecosystem. We also hope to support coordinated action with partners in the National Housing Network.
… (through this work) supporting the growth of a National Housing Network, bringing together different champions who are working towards accessible and inclusive housing for Autistic and Neurodivergent people in Canada.“
Recently, the Accessibility Institute at Carleton had a conversation with a representative of our group (Ottawa Adult Autism Initiative) about the results of our 2021 community consultation and what members of the Ottawa adult autism community had to say about housing for autistic adults. One of the themes in the report they reflected on was the need for professionals who support adults to understand autism and neurodivergence.
