Action Plan – Autism Awareness – Create a Sensory-Friendly Poster Series

Step Four: Make a plan

Turn your project idea into a measurable plan by setting a clear goal, organizing tasks and roles around your group’s strengths, identifying needed supplies and resources, and sharing the plan with trusted adults and community partners for feedback and support.

If the scouts liked this one the best from the brainstorming list: Create a Sensory-Friendly Poster Series – Design posters for schools or libraries that explain sensory sensitivities and offer tips for creating inclusive spaces….. this would be a sample project.


Project Title: See, Feel, Include — Sensory-Friendly Poster Series

Project Goal

Design and display a series of posters that help others understand sensory sensitivities and offer simple tips for creating inclusive environments for neurodiverse individuals.


What I Want My Project to Accomplish

  • Teach others what sensory sensitivities are and how they affect people differently.
  • Share easy ways to make classrooms, libraries, and troop spaces more inclusive.
  • Use art and design to spark empathy and awareness.
  • Leave behind posters that continue to educate long after the project is complete.

How I’ll Measure Success

  • Track how many posters are displayed in public spaces.
  • Ask viewers (teachers, students, troop members) to share one thing they learned.
  • Optional: Create a QR code on the posters that links to a short survey or info page.
  • Ask a teacher or librarian to share how the posters were received or used.
