This event is catered to children and persons with Sensory Processing Disorder.
\nWhile most people associate the condition
with persons with Autism\, not everyone with sensory issues is on the spe
ctrum. Some have ADHD\, OCD or developmental delays.
\nOr they may not have
a diagnosis at all. They can become overstimulated in loud and chaotic sit
uations. Our goal is to be able to interact with Santa\, something many fa
milies take for granted.
A visit with Santa should not be traumatic or stressful.
\nOur Sensory Santa event allows for chi ldren to get comfortable in the environment\, play\, work on a craft\, hav e a snack or color. It also allows parents to meet each other and make new friends. Santa is great at bringing people together.
\nWhen you arrive we will check you in at the front\, when it is your turn to visit Santa\, we will come find you. If y ou feel that your not ready or need more time\, just let us know and we wi ll move on to the next family\, but continue to check in with you so your child has their time with Santa.
\nOur Santa is not limited to the typical “photo op.” Sometimes we
get creative.
\nWe accommodate the child/person within their levels of comf
ort. We will do our best\, but we also know that it is a process. We are a
nything but TYPICAL. Our Santa also signs.
Due to space availability you may be asked to wait in your car until we can accommodate your family. If you have 5 or more\, we ask that you call ahead and let us know what time you plan to attend so th at we can prepare accordingly. Anyone planning to attend is welcome to let us know as well so that we can plan properly for everyone! Reservations a re not “required” but a heads up would be helpful. 304-252-3730.
\nThis Event is a Volunteer collab oration of The Beckley Department of Parks and Recreation\, PNB\, New Rive r Community and Technical College Social Services Department\, McDonalds o f Beckley and The Early Show with Rick and Lola from 103CIR.
