Millennium Fellowship Project: Inclusive QuakeReady ASD
Inclusive QuakeReady ASD is a project that will focus on enhancing earthquake preparedness for caregivers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in urban Dhaka. The project adapts disaster training to the cultural, sensory, and communication needs of ASD children and their families, ensuring equitable access to life-saving knowledge and tools. Through culturally resonant workshops, practical drills, and tailored resources, the project empowers caregivers to confidently manage earthquake emergencies while advocating for inclusive disaster policies.
