The Amerks will be hosting a trio of sensory-friendly games throughout the season. These games will include lower music levels, no flashing lights, and quiet spaces throughout the arena.
Please note: vuvuzelas, cow bells, and other loud noisemakers won’t be allowed into the game or sold at the team store.
Last season, the Amerks introduced a sensory-friendly room at Autism Awareness Night, which included:
- Blue light light coverings
- White noise machine
- LED lightcubes
- Lava lamps
- Large weighted sloth lap covering
- Sensory body sack
- Bouncing ball with handle
- Caterpillar tunnel
- Various sensory and fidget toys
- Sensory bags
The sensory bags are also available at every game and event at Blue Cross Arena. Bags can be picked up and returned to the First Aid Room. Each Sensory Bag includes noise canceling headphones, earplugs, sunglasses, various sensory focus toys and activities, communication cards and more!
