Join us for a sensory friendly day at the Spartanburg Children’s Museum next Friday, May 22nd from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM!

Sensory day is a special time designed with neurodivergent children in mind, including kids with autism and ADHD. During this event, the museum environment is intentionally adjusted to be calmer.

There will be lower noise levels, reduced crowds, and a flexible pace—so children can explore, play, and learn in a way that feels safe for them.

This is a great family friendly event- we hope to see you there!

Address: 130 Magnolia St, Spartanburg, SC 29306

What is the color of autism? The truth is—there isn’t just one.

Different colors have been used to represent autism over the years:
💙 Blue for acceptance
✨ Gold for awareness and valuing autistic voices
🌈 Rainbow for the diversity of the spectrum

Autism is not one-size-fits-all, and no single color can define it. Every person with autism brings their own unique strengths, experiences, and perspective to the world.

Public meltdowns can be stressful for both children and parents—but with the right strategies, you can navigate them calmly and effectively.

Here are 3 simple ABA-based strategies to help your child and keep everyone safe:

1️⃣ Stay Calm & Model Regulation – Your child often mirrors your emotional state. Take deep breaths, lower your voice, and use calm body language to help them feel safe.

2️⃣ Use Visual or Verbal Supports – A visual cue card, countdown timer, or simple words like “stop” or “wait” can help your child understand expectations and regain control.

3️⃣ Reinforce Positive Coping – When your child uses a coping skill, praises them immediately. Even small efforts—like taking a deep breath or moving to a quiet space—should be recognized. Positive reinforcement makes these skills stick!

💡 Extra Tip: Have a “go bag” ready with favorite sensory toys, headphones, or a small snack for situations that might trigger meltdowns. Being prepared reduces stress for everyone.

With practice, patience, and ABA strategies, your child can learn to manage big emotions in public spaces.
