Exploring Our Way: Sensory Friendly Playtime

For some children with autism spectrum or sensory processing disorders, a visit to museums like the Children’s Museum of NH is challenging or over-stimulating. Exploring Our Way are reduced cost, low-sensory events designed for children with autism spectrum or sensory processing disorders and allow them to explore the Museum along with their families without the noise, crowds, and stimulation of a typical open day. We limit the number of families who can attend, turn down sounds and lights, provide a quiet zone with sensory activities away from the exhibit floor, and have noise-canceling headphones to borrow. A medical diagnosis is not required. This program costs $3.50/person (free for Members) and online pre-registration is required. Access & Inclusion programs are sponsored, in part, by Liberty Mutual Foundation and by Mass General Brigham/Wentworth-Douglass Hospital. Visit www.childrens-museum.org to learn more.
