The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh will host a sensory-friendly event on the second Tuesday of every month, starting May 14.
Children with autism spectrum disorders and sensory sensitivities can take part in a fun, friendly experience with their families in a comfortable and accepting environment. Lights and sounds in spaces throughout the museum are adjusted for the event. There will be designated quiet areas to provide space to take a break.
Sensory kits with noise-cancelling headphones, sunglasses, an assortment of fidgets, and other items will be available.
Sensory-Friendly Afternoons will run from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the second Tuesday of every month. For more information, email accessibility@pittsburghkids.org.
