April 6, 2025 -Exploring Our Way: Sensory Friendly Playtime
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 FREE 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 is free, but online pre-registration is required. Access & Inclusion programs are sponsored by M&T Bank. LEARN MORE AND REGISTER
