As a family with children on the Autism Spectrum , you know how difficult it can be to enjoy an outing when there are too many people or noises that make it hard for your child to have fun and enjoy themselves.
But have no fear! The Greater Houston area has plenty of autism-friendly events and activities available β take a look at our list of local, sensory-friendly places where your family can have a great time and feel included in the fun!
With the magic of childhood lost on us as adults, we often crave something new and exciting in our everyday lives. The FOMO Factory strives to bring back that sense of wonder, awe, and fun we tend to lose as we get older. In this immersive pop-up shop, you can shamelessly take selfies with our new art forms and play like never before! Inspired by modern-day environments, this sensory-friendly space allows all to float through 17 different spaces including birthday parties, playgrounds, and school dances.
These bags come with fidget tools and stuffed animals so visitors can take their mind off overstimulation if need be, as well as ear defenders or sunglasses β whatever would suit what makes it hard on days when there are just too many sounds around us all day long we hear that happens sometimes. Be sure to check their website for special sensory-friendly days and events. This is the perfect opportunity for you and your family to enjoy live theater!
Main Street Theatre is able to provide modified performances on selected days, tailored just for children with disabilities and special needs in this area. Space curators have implemented special training for staff along with inspections and improvements to accommodate children, adults, and families of all abilities.
