Autism and the Arts presents a Sensory Friendly Nutcracker Suite on November 16th at 2:30pm! In partnership with Hilton Head Dance School/Theatre, LAF will be able to provide access to a shortened sensory-viewing of the Nutcracker. This show is for the ENTIRE family and you can expect it to last about an hour. Sensory needs will be taken into consideration (lights, sounds, etc), and there will be space to take breaks and rejoin. 

The goal is to provide art experiences without fear, shame or concerns that your child's needs won't be met. 

The entire family is invited and there is NO COST TO YOU! Please register and provide the number of individuals that will be attending with you (parents, siblings, therapists, etc).
