🌈 Sensory-Friendly Business Program

Helping Businesses Create More Welcoming & Inclusive Communities

A sensory-friendly business is more than a business that turns down the lights or lowers the music.

It is a business whose staff have a better understanding of autism, disabilities, sensory needs, communication differences, and how small changes can make a big difference for an individual and their family.

Rockin’ The Spectrum works with businesses, schools, nonprofits, and community organizations to help them become more welcoming, understanding, and prepared to serve individuals with disabilities and their families.

Because inclusion doesn't stop at the doors of our programs.

It belongs in our entire community.


💙 Why Become Sensory-Friendly?

For many individuals and families, everyday activities like going to a restaurant, visiting the dentist, shopping, attending an event, or walking into a new business can be challenging.

Sometimes a few thoughtful changes can make all the difference.

It may be:

Small changes can create a much bigger sense of belonging.

Once your application is received, a member of the Rockin’ The Spectrum team will reach out to discuss your selected level, answer questions, and find a date and time that works for both teams.

3. Reserve Your Date

Once a date is agreed upon, a 25% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your date.

4. Complete Your Partnership

The remaining balance is due 3 days before your scheduled training or service.

Then we'll work with your team to put your selected partnership level into action.


💜 Scholarship Assistance Is Available

We don't want cost to prevent a business or organization from taking meaningful steps toward becoming more inclusive.

Scholarship assistance may be available for eligible:

Scholarships may be made possible through grants, sponsorships, donations, and community funding.

Scholarship assistance is based on need, available funding, and program availability and is not guaranteed.

A Deposit Is Still Required

Scholarship assistance does not waive the deposit requirement.

If you receive scholarship assistance, Rockin’ The Spectrum will let you know your remaining financial responsibility and the deposit required to reserve your date.
