Abstract
  • The following pages describe initial findings from the first of four surveys administered in a state of the field study as part of the Modeling Zoos and Aquariums as Inclusive Communities of Science (MoZAICS) for Autistic Individuals project. This study was designed to look across the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) field to understand what inclusive practices zoos and aquariums are currently using to support autistic individuals across the full zoo/aquarium experience (e.g., general visit, programs, events, design of learning experiences, volunteering, internships, and employment). In the first survey, zoo and aquarium employees responded to open- and closed-ended prompts that asked respondents to reflect on their organization’s current practices for supporting the inclusion of autistic individuals across four areas: the general visit; spaces for exhibiting, learning, or working; human resources; and leadership. Additional questions asked respondents about their site’s partnerships with autism-related communities (e.g., autistic self-advocates, community-based advocacy groups).
