The terms ‘sensory friendly’ or ‘relaxed setting’ are common vernacular among arts educators and administrators. Museums, theaters, dance companies, movie theaters, etc. are offering sensory friendly performances and experiences throughout the country.
While it is encouraging to see the cultural sector provide opportunities for this population, there is still much work to be done in shifting the perception that these experiences are ‘special’ into making accommodations that are good for everyone, every day.
Speakers: Dr. Roger Ideishi, Lisa Porter, & Dr. Matthew Lerner
