Just in time for the holidays, a series of special events across the country will offer calmer environments for children with disabilities to enjoy some one-on-one time with Santa Claus.
Over 400 malls and other shopping destinations from Maryland to Hawaii will host sensory-friendly experiences with Santa, most of which will be held Dec. 2 or Dec. 9.
The events advertised under a variety of names including “Santa Cares,” “Caring Santa” and “Sensitive Santa,” will be held during off-hours to avoid crowds and allow for adjustments to the malls’ lighting and sounds.
