All About Accessibility: Sensory-Inclusive Experiences

 

 

Sensory-friendly experiences have become more common as more individuals are comfortable expressing their sensory needs. Everyone experiences sensory information in their own way, including people with autism, neurodivergence, post-traumatic stress disorder, post-concussion syndrome, or hearing loss. Some people may seek out more sensory input, such as sights, sounds, and smells, while others avoid or minimize exposure.

 

Accessible Ohio resources about Sensory-Inclusive Experiences explore ways to create enriching, inclusive experiences that benefit everyone. 

 

Providing Sensory Tools empowers individuals with unique sensory needs to regulate sensory input, improving their ability to have meaningful experiences in shared activities and spaces. 

 

Creating Sensory Spaces for individuals to take a break from an activity gives them a safe, judgment-free place to manage their sensory needs with sensory tools. 

 

Hosting Sensory-Inclusive Hours and Events creates a welcoming environment with sensory-focused practices that cultivate a sense of inclusion and belonging. 

 

Everyone’s experience is unique and important. Use our Accessible Ohio resources to begin or advance your journey to accessibility.
