Sensory Friendly Programs


Two young girls with developmental disabilities paint on canvases on easels underneath a cherry blossom tree. Their teacher stands proudly behind them, watching as they paint.

Sensory-friendly programs provide inclusive experiences for neurodiverse populations, designed to reduce overwhelming or uncomfortable stimuli. Whether running plug-and-play programming or adapting existing programs to be sensory-friendly, each experience is focused on creating welcoming and accessible experiences for all.

These programs provide coaching, training, and tools to businesses to help prepare them for engaging with people who have varying sensory needs, including individuals with autism, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anyone with sensory sensitivities.
