About the event
A Silent Disco Prom will be a night for our autism and special education needs population to feel accepted, understood, and celebrated.
--Sensory Grooves will be an evening devoted entirely to individuals aged 14 to 18 or those in grades 8 through 12. These children will get the opportunity to enjoy a traditional prom experience in an inclusive environment that feels safe and friendly.
Sensory Grooves participants will feel like prom royalty as they will control their experience, making it as unique as each of them. -------Participants will receive wireless headphones customized at a constant volume level featuring three different audio channels. These three channels allow participants to volley back and forth between three song choices from three DJs, all by clicking a button on their headphones. This control factor helps each participant feel more included and immerses them in a socially positive group experience.
--Suppose participants sense they need a break from all the fun of dancing. In that case, they can still listen and observe or remove the headphones and have a conversation, never missing a moment of the grand experience of their evening. Having choices extends a safety factor, minimizing sensory overload and providing a successful and memorable evening.
- Please note that both parents/guardians and their child must have valid proof of identification when checking in on the evening of the event.
