Sensory Saturday at The Aldrich is a program designed for children (ages 4-12) with developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, those on the autism spectrum and their family members. The program includes exploration in the galleries in a relaxed environment and the discovery of contemporary art through touch, sound, and movement. In The Studio, participants will engage in a hands-on art project inspired by the Museum's current exhibitions.
Sensory considerations during this program include smaller group sizes, low lighting, and adjusted visiting time for a calmer experience. There will be visual support through the use of picture communication during the program and sensory tools available including noise-canceling headphones. We encourage family participation and collaboration throughout this visit.
