Sensory Friendly Storytime is an interactive event designed for children ages 8 and younger who have a difficult time in large groups, are on the autism spectrum, have sensory processing challenges, or other special needs. This storytime combines preschool-level books, songs, and activities to engage all five senses in developing emerging literacy, social interaction, and both gross and fine motor skills. Sensory friendly aspects include a picture schedule, small group size, soft lighting, manipulatives, and fidget toys. The program is approximately 30 minutes long, with an additional 30 minutes of free play. If your child has difficulty sitting through a traditional story time, this inclusive program of stories, songs, and activities may be just what you are looking for.
