Individuals on the autism spectrum or with sensory processing disorder and their families are invited to join us for after-hours access to the museum’s Brandywine Railroad. Also on view will be Greeting Seasons: Wintry Joy in Children’s Illustrations, an exhibition featuring work by four contemporary illustrators. The first floor will have holiday trees decorated with Brandywine Critters, ornaments made from natural materials.

Created in conjunction with local families and occupational therapists, this inclusive and accessible program strives to provide a welcoming experience through offering:

• Pre-visit social stories
• Reduced crowding and noise
• On-hand support of skilled and friendly volunteers
• Sensory regulation tools, such as fidgets, noise-cancelling headphones, sunglasses, and a break area

This program welcomes participants of all ages and their families (siblings welcome!). To ensure a safe and enjoyable visit for all, this year’s program will have a limited capacity and timed admission.
