In observance of Memorial Day, our offices will be closed on Monday, May 25. We will reopen with normal business hours on Tuesday, May 26. πŸ’™

While long weekends and shifts in daily routines can sometimes be tricky to navigate, they also bring an opportunity to explore new, sensory-safe environments! If you're looking for inclusive, sensory-friendly ways to spend the holiday weekend here in Alabama, here are a few ideas:

🌳 Explore the Outdoors: Check out a local accessible park, like the EXPLORE Playground & Splashpad in Hoover, designed specifically with therapeutic and inclusive play in mind.
🦁 Visit Sensory-Inclusive Venues: The Birmingham Zoo is a certified sensory-inclusive facility through KultureCity. You can check out sensory bags with noise-canceling headphones and fidget tools at the front gate!
🏑 At-Home Sensory Fun: If crowds aren't your family's thing, try beat-the-heat activities at home like rainbow soap foam car washes, a patriotic sensory bin with colored rice, or a backyard water balloon toss.

Wishing all of our families a safe, peaceful, and wonderful holiday weekend! ✨
