Happy Bonfire Night 🎇
Over the next week there will be firework displays going on across the country 🔥
Whilst these festivities can be exciting, some people who want to experience the celebrations may find the bright lights and sounds a bit overwhelming!
Here are some tips on how to make the night enjoyable for everyone:
S: Sounds: Bring ear defenders or noise-cancelling headphones to help reduce loud bangs. Watching from a distance can also make the sounds more manageable.
E: Environment: Choose a quieter spot away from crowds or have an easy exit route if it becomes overwhelming.
N: Needs: Bring comfort items, snacks, or drinks; anything that helps someone feel safe.
S: Support: Go with friends, family, or your team who understand individual needs and can offer reassurance.
E: Expectations: Prepare in advance by watching videos of fireworks, talk through what will happen, and decide together how long to stay.
S: Sensory Breaks: Plan breaks in a calm area or car to recharge before returning to the fun!
