Once a month, our special Au-Some Evenings give children with autism spectrum disorder and sensory processing disorder, their friends and family an opportunity to play and learn together in an understanding and supportive environment. Families will have access to the museum space and play zones, including our cafe. Featured activities include a music center, therapy dogs, art projects and gross motor activities. Explore & More will also have a social narrative about the new museum and its play zones, quiet kits, as well as calming sensory-friendly spaces in the museum.
This month, we’ll be painting kindness rocks. There will be art smocks available but, if your child would like to participate in the activity, you might plan for appropriate clothing knowing that the child will be using paint. Once the rocks are painted, the child may:
1) Keep the rock
2) Give the rock to someone
3) Hide the rock outside for someone to find.
