Unicoop Firenze Opens ‘Autism Friendly’ Supermarket

Italian regional cooperative Unicoop Firenze has opened a new Coop.Fi supermarket in Florence, which has been developed as an ‘autism-friendly’ store.

The first initiative of this kind in Italy is the result of a partnership with Autismo Firenze, an association of families with autistic children.

A dedicated kit has been prepared that consists of a cotton shopping bag, which features the image of a blue hedgehog (representing autism spectrum disorders), which features a variety of instructions.
