DISCOVER THE MANY WAYS PEOPLE WITH IDDs ARE

Shopability is a campaign designed to recognize businesses across Jacksonville that employ individuals with Autism, Down syndrome and other intellectual and developmental differences (IDDs).

We are in the process of creating a searchable map to identify the hundreds of companies in our area who offer employment and internship opportunities to our neighbors with IDDs. We want to make it easy to support them. Check out our Shopability map here, and if you don't see your favorite inclusive business represented, make sure to submit a business listing by January 15, 2021.
