Care intelligence. Community powered.
A living map of sensory-safe, culturally safe healthcare for autistic people and their families. Built around Black and Indigenous dignity—and the knowing you bring into every appointment.
Starting in Dallas. Growing through family stories.
The questions that matter
Will they listen? Can I ask for quiet?
Make room for answers before the visit.
Our founding commitments
Family access stays free
Lived experience belongs at the center
Sensory needs are not an inconvenience
From whispers to a living map
A friend's dentist. A neighbor's midwife. The recommendations families trade quietly deserve a place where everyone can find them.
25
Dallas providers in our first mapping goal—not a claim of certified locations.
Find clinics, dentists, therapists, and birth centers through the experiences of autistic people and their families.
Sensory environment: light, sound, and space
Wait-time flexibility and room to pause
Communication that honors your needs
Cultural safety and respect for your knowing
Visit stories make space to testify: what felt safe, what hurt, and what you wish another family knew. Your experience is more than a score.
Our planned provider training covers sensory-adapted rooms, communication that doesn't dismiss parents, and autistic pregnancy, birth, and postpartum protocols.
Visit-Ready sensory kits are part of our roadmap for families and clinics. Any aromatherapy options will be clearly labeled and optional—not an assumption about what calms you.
Access for families. Accountability for providers.
The family map is free. Provider training and Gentle Ground certification are planned as tiered annual packages with renewal. Fees and certification requirements will be confirmed before enrollment; payment alone is not proof of safe care.
For individuals getting started
