With the school routine back into full speed, it’s time to get out of the house. We know planning outings can be stressful for a child with special needs and that’s why we provided you with these three great events just for your family.
Blue Man Group Autism-Friendly Performance
Oct. 1; 4 p.m.
The Blue Man Group teams up with Autism Speaks to provide a slightly-modified performance for individuals with autism. If your child seeks a sensory break during the show, they can spend time in the lobby including bean bags, dim lights, and quiet corners.
Family Night Out at DuPage Children’s Museum
Sept. 30; 5:30 p.m.
Spend an evening at the DuPage Children’s Museum focused on play and learning. The special needs event provides a calming environment with fewer crowds, sensory activities and cool-down spaces.
Mornings of Fun at Discovery Center Museum
Oct. 14; 9 a.m.
Head to the Discovery Center Museum before the doors open in an hour dedicated to children with disabilities and their families. The free event provides multi-sensory exhibits and activities. A healthy snack will be served at 10:00 am.
