Pretend City’s Neurodivergent Family Night
July is Disability Pride Month!
While Pretend City in Orange County is designed to engage children of all abilities, the children’s museum is aware that some children are more comfortable in modified surroundings. In that light, they offer Neurodivergent Family Night – a stigma-free, fun, and insightful event.
The kids are out of school this summer and it’s time for children and their parents/siblings/caretakers to enjoy Pretend City in a sensory-friendly environment, along with other families. The children’s museum’s community partners, who specialize in supporting the neurodiverse community will be on hand to enrich your family’s play experience with welcoming smiles and practical support. Specifically, for families with children of all ages from the neurodiverse community and with other disabilities. Pretend City will be closed to the public.
Inclusive Sol will be in attendance on July 25th. RSVP for FREE!
