Holiday celebrations are full of sensory experiences, bright lights, loud music, crowded rooms, strong smells, chatting guests, and unpredictable noise.
While these elements feel festive to some, they can be overwhelming for individuals with disabilities, especially those with sensory sensitivities.
Sensory overload is not a behavioral issue, it’s a nervous system response to “too much, too fast.” Understanding it helps us create environments where everyone feels safe.
Inclusion begins with understanding, and at Hope Human Services, we’re committed to helping every person experience the holidays with comfort and confidence 💛
