The team at the SA Maritime Museum has been working with Autism SA to provide a calm and accessible environment within the museum for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
These special sensory sessions offer an opportunity to visit the SA Maritime Museum, transformed into a quiet sensory space, with volume turned down or off, lights dimmed in some areas, and a downloadable Social Narrative developed to help prepare for a visit.
Sessions are allocated to times when the museum is normally less busy, or closed, so families can experience a more relaxed visit.
Sensory Sessions:
Saturday 24 October, 4pm – 5.30pm
Sunday 25 October, 9am – 10.30am
Saturday 21 November, 4pm – 5.30pm
Sunday 22 November, 9am – 10.30am
Sensory sessions can be booked online:
