Sensory Sensitive Sunday
104 River Hills Rd
Asheville, NC 28805
USA
*** DISSONTINUED AT THIS LOCATION. Was advised that they did participate for the first 4 months of the program, but ZERO people showed up, so they got taken off the list
On the 1st Sunday of every month from 9-11am, CEC is providing a sensory sensitive place for families with autistic and special needs children to have fun at before the store opens to the pubic with the following elements:
Less crowds, noise and dimmed lights
No show, music or radio playing
No Chuck E or any characters visible
Food and games are offered but parents are permitted to bring snacks for their children if needed due to dietary restriction, gluten allergies, etc
Staff are flexible with “the rules” during this time, i.e. running, playing a game incorrectly (as long as everyone is SAFE – safety is always a priority)
In some selected stores, our partner CARD (Center for Autism Research & Development) will be able to help staff the events
