of the sensory friendly event. Sensory inclusion liberates that. It creates daily accessibility with
training, tools and other modifications that although do not remove the noxious stimuli. help the
guest cope with this potential sensory over stimulation better thus ensuring an accepting and
inclusive experience for all.
