Here are some tips to help make sure you and your loved ones have a sensory friendly Thanksgiving!

Depending on the person, a schedule or conversation about the dayβs plans could be very helpful. Include details about the dayβs process, photos of other attendees, smells, etc.
π) π£πππ‘ π π¦πππ π¦π£πππ:
Plan a safe space for your loved one that they can go to as needed. This may be a room with dimmed lights, reduced noises, a place to move freely, and other comforts that can help them regulate.
π) ππ‘πππ¨ππ π¦ππ‘π¦π’π₯π¬ ππ₯ππππ¦:
If you notice that your loved one is getting overwhelmed, make sure they know it is okay if they would rather go to the the planned safe space for a break. Donβt force engagement or have expectations.
π) π¦ππ‘π¦π’π₯π¬ ππͺππ₯ππ‘ππ¦π¦:
Ensure guests and/or hosts are fully aware of all sensory needs so that appropriate accommodations are made. This may be something as simple as having alternative food options available or a low volume for music.
π) π£ππ§πππ‘ππ & π¨π‘πππ₯π¦π§ππ‘πππ‘π:
Provide all attending with the patience and understanding that they deserve.
