If you love a parade but need a sensory-friendly experience, don’t miss the special Sensory Friendly Block on Ashman St. between W. Pine St. and E. Grove St. during this weekend’s Midland Santa Parade! A quieter, calmer way to enjoy the fun.

Thanks to a continuing collaboration between Access to Community and Midland Santa Parade, a special “sensory block” on Ashman St. between W. Pine St. and E. Grove St. will return to parade day to allow residents with light or sound sensitivities to enjoy the parade with more comfort.

When passing this block the bands will not play, lights will not flash, and horns/sirens/extremely loud noises will not be used. If you or someone you love is sensitive to these experiences, we encourage you to watch from this area!

At Disability Network Mid-Michigan, we’re reminded that generosity comes in many forms — a donation, a helping hand, a shared story, or time spent supporting inclusion in our community. This season, let’s celebrate the power of giving by creating opportunities for independence, connection, and belonging for people of all abilities.

October is ADHD Awareness Month. ADHD is more than just a distraction; it's a difference in how the brain works. People with ADHD often bring a unique blend of creativity, hyperfocus, and resilience to the table. By raising awareness, we can challenge stereotypes and create a more understanding world where people with ADHD are valued for their abilities.
