The Autism Society of Southeastern Wisconsin and the Harley Davidson Museum have partnered to create a FREE Sensory Friendly experience for museum guests. During this session, existing exhibits will be modified to reduce lighting and noise. With these modifications and a reduced capacity, individuals will have the opportunity to interact with exhibits in a way that best meets their sensory needs.
What makes these sessions sensory friendly?
* Exhibits are modified with reduced sound and lighting.
* A quiet space will be available to regulate or calm.
* Signs will be placed around the museum to indicate no touch areas, interactive exhibits, and possibly louder zones.
* Capacity for this event will be limited.
* Extra headphones available around noisier exhibits
* We are asking families to bring their Sensory Go Bags but will have a limited number available if needed.
The biggest volunteer task will be wayfinding and exhibit guidance. Volunteers will be stationed around the museum near exhibits in which we have "no touch" signs placed. There will also be two interactive stations in which we will place volunteers to help explain the exhibit if needed. There will also be two headphone stations throughout the museum that would be helpful to have a volunteer.
