Sensory help, in the park district's words

“Sensory support kits to borrow that include: noise-reducing headphones, ear plugs, nose plugs, sunglasses, variety of fidgets, weighted blankets, and other sensory supports.”

“A quiet space to take a break.”

“To my right I will see an alcove space with cushioned chairs, a couch, board games, puzzles, and a sensory kit.” the park's social narrative
