#SensoryDisability
We all process sensory input differently, but some people are especially sensitive. What might be a minor annoyance for you can be overwhelming and disruptive to someone who struggles with sensory processing issues. This curriculum looks at sensory processing issues and how they affect children.
This online session will explore:
- the joy of working with children who have SEND
- the challenges young children face and ways to overcome them
- tips on resources and activities
- where to go for more information
and will particularly focus on ways to make adaptions for children with speech and language difficulties and sensory impairments.
Join us for this 1 hour concert of performances as we bring awareness to domestic violence and support the Colorado-based Non-profit, INITIATIVE.
Founded over 30 years ago, The Initiative (previously known as the Domestic Violence Initiative for Women with Disabilities or DVI) is the only organization in Colorado that focuses our services on the intersection of cross-disability issues and abuse. “Cross-disability” means that we serve people with all kinds of disabilities, including physical, sensory, cognitive, developmental, mental-health, and health-related. Through our advocacy and outreach programs, The Initiative strives to create an abuse-free culture for all.
Join us as Denver area female and non-binary artists come together to support this important cause. Attendance is FREE - donations to INITIATIVE encouraged.

Miss Abilities Organization is proud to present its second annual Silent Night dance - a unique and sensory friendly way of experiencing music at a dance. Guests wear wireless headphones and a silent room instantly transforms in to a high energy musical atmosphere. This event is geared toward individuals with disabilities and/sensory sensitivities ages 7 and up and their friends, family and guardians.
The atmosphere is relaxed and fun. Guests are able to hold a conversation more easily with their friends because there’s no need to scream over the loud music. Just slide the headphones partially or completely off anytime you need a break.
There are 3 channels for each set of headphones - Top 40, Country and Holiday - and Special Ocassions Entertainment DJ Hampton Thomas will keep the music on all three channels playing the entire time. Along with being able to control the volume level of their headphones, the listeners have full control over which channel they listen to.
Tickets are just $10 each and MUST be purchased in advance to ensure headphone availability.
All the money raised during this event will go directly to Miss Abilities Organization toward our March 9, 2019 pageant for young women with disabilities.
