Sensory-Friendly Accomodations

What is a sensory-friendly quiet space?

  • A designated space used by both kids and adults, designed to provide a calming and regulating environment for neurodivergent or disabled individuals or anyone with sensory differences who may benefit from a break from music, crowds, and activity. ​​

  • It is a sensory accommodation and a tool for regulation and INCLUSION in the community

  • It is NOT a play space, isolation room, or tool for exclusion

Why is this important?

  • Sensory-friendly spaces are an important accommodation that supports access to events and the community for many neurodivergent and disabled individuals who need a place relax​

  • True community is ACCESSIBLE, a sensory-friendly space is one, important, concrete step towards making your event or organization more accessible
