Ford’s Theatre is committed to accessibility at all levels and offers Ford’s For Me: Sensory-Friendly museum experiences, in partnership with the National Park Service. These free events are sensory-friendly museum programs, designed to create an experience that is welcoming for families and people with sensory sensitivities who might benefit from an adjusted theatrical environment, including those with autism. Adaptations for these museum experiences may include:
- Pre-visit social narrative and other preparatory materials describing what to expect
- Lower sound levels, especially for surprising or loud sounds in the exhibits
- Thematic activities
- Reduced wait times
- Limited crowds at Ford’s Theatre during the day and time of the experience
- Ford’s Theatre staff trained to be inviting and accommodating to patrons’ needs; and
- Allowance for the use of tablets and smartphones for communication.
- A sensory-friendly performance of One Destiny
This event is for families and recommended for ages 6+.
