Regions autism awareness initiative

Regions is dedicated to educating customers and employees about autism, while creating a sensory-friendly environment.

Understanding begins with knowing some basics. Visit the Centers for Disease Control to learn more about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

We strive to make our facilities accommodating to people with autism by creating a friendly and welcoming environment, raising awareness and educating people about autism. These efforts are making a difference. In 2016, the Autism Society of Alabama recognized our autism awareness efforts by awarding Regions its Innovative Program Award during the organization’s annual Autism Shines gala.

Regions autism awareness initiative includes:

• Sensory packs containing a stress ball, sunglasses and noise-canceling earbuds at branch locations to assist customers with autism who may experience sensory episodes due to noise, lights and other factors
• Quiet areas in facilities that guests and loved ones accompanying them can use until an episode passes
• A partnership with University of Alabama at Birmingham physicians and the Autism Society of Alabama to develop and build upon this initiative
