LOTT’s WET Science Center is partnering with the Exceptional Families Network to offer a “Sensory-Friendly Sunday” from 12:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. on June 4, 2017. This event provides a comfortable and accepting environment for youth and adults with sensory differences. The WET Science Center will lower the lights, turn down the volume on games, and offer an optional visual scavenger hunt for the exhibit gallery. With input from local families, a variety of tactile sensory play activities will be available for guests of all ages. Visitors can also enjoy arts and crafts, hand fidgets, sensory bottles and play bins, a book nook, and quiet spaces for breaks. The WET Center hosted its first Sensory-Friendly Sunday in February 2017 and plans to continue to offer these special events once per quarter.
Exceptional Families Network is a nonprofit organization working with families who have experienced the unique joys and challenges of parenting children with special needs. Members of its staff will be available at a resource table full of information, upcoming special events, and local support services.
The WET Science Center is located at 500 Adams Street NE, in downtown Olympia. Regular hours are Monday-Saturday 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. and admission is always free.
