Happy New Year From CNY SPD Parent-Connections!
Join us for:
Sensory Friendly Time at the MOST!
Presented by the MOST in conjunction with Thrive By 5 and CNY SPD Parent-Connections!
Many of our children have difficulties when visiting this wonderful children's museum and play area. The MOST is filled with fun things for kids to explore, yet often it can be a very overwhelming experience,especially for those children who have sensory difficulties.
Occupational therapists from Thrive By 5 have worked together with CNY SPD Parent Hosts and the MOST to create an event in which our children can experience the delights of the MOST.
Tuesday, January 10th - 10:00am-noon
Friday, January 20th - 5:30-7:30pm
This event is designed for any children with sensory processing difficulties, regardless of diagnosis. If a child has difficulty with the overstimulating sensory environment at the MOST,
this event is designed for them.
In preparation for A Sensory Friendly Time many exhibits will be adjusted so they are more comfortable for sensory processing difficulties. These adjustments include lowering loud noises, eliminating flashing lights, silencing the air compressors that control some of the exhibits, offering "quiet" areas where participants can sit, relax and regroup.
If you have any questions, please contact cnyspdparents@gmail.com or visit www.most.org.
Standard admission prices will apply.
