Talk to your hairdresser about your concerns, rather than avoiding seeing then. Look around for hairdressers who are understanding of anxiety and discomfort issues, or perhaps try a mobile hairdresser who will come to your home. Some examples are provided below.
Regular sensory friendly mornings and evenings so that visitors of all ages, along with their families, friends, and support workers, can enjoy a quieter, less crowded visit to the museum.
The museum stays open late on Saturday, and opens early on Sunday, so families can come in and experience a more relaxed visit. Our lighting will be dimmed, volume turned down, providing a quiet sensory space within the museum.
MOD exhibitions offer adjustments to exhibits, like reducing light and sound levels and signposting those that are a more intense sensory experience. Contact [email protected] for information about individual exhibitions.
A designated space at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre for fans who are sensitive to noises, smells, lights and crowds and can be overwhelmed by such sensory impacts.
