Storybook Theatre is wonderful. We've been going to see it at the PUD in Everett for years. Now, they are having a few sensory friendly performances in Kirkland and Renton.

Hello friends of Lake Stevens Special Education Parent/Teacher Group,

Last year our group had four meetings over the course of the year. This year we plan to host four meetings/events between March - June.

Our first meeting is next Wednesday, March 9, from 6:30 to 7:30pm in the Mt. Pilchuck Elementary library.

Come hear about fabulous recreational opportunities in our area for your student on an IEP! Patty Studdard from the Lake Stevens Special Olympics will be presenting. We will also be briefly discussing Top Soccer (Snohomish) and Outdoors for All (skiing, biking, etc.).

Currently LSSD provides transportation to swimming for students participating in Special Olympics. Come hear how this program or other Special Olympic programs like bowling, golf, basketball, and softball, might work for your student on an IEP.

As always, free childcare is provided.

We hope you will consider attending. The success of this collaborative group is dependent on participation and involvement.

Sincerely,
Rebecca DeFrang

Who can attend this Sensory-Friendly performance?
Sensory-friendly performances are designed to create a theatre experience that is welcoming to all families with children on the autism spectrum, with sensory processing disorder, or with other disabilities or special needs that create sensory sensitivities or make experiencing live theatre challenging.

How is a Sensory-Friendly performance different?

A Sensory-Friendly performance is unique in a variety of ways, including:

· Written resources and “social stories” are provided up front online and at the box office that help prepare children and their families for the performance ahead of time. Click here to view:http://www.villagetheatre.org/Downloads/pied-piper/Sensory-Friendly.pdf

· It will be acceptable to stand, walk, talk or fidget.

· House lights stay partially lit during the performance.

· Audio cue volumes are reduced or eliminated.

· Lighting effects that are strobe like, sudden or glaring are reduced or eliminated.

· There is general admission seating, allowing the families to choose where they want to sit.

· The generous seating at the Everett Civic Auditorium allows ample space between audience members.

· Designated “Away Space” for those who might feel overwhelmed and need a minute to self-regulate.



About the Show:

Stanley Lambchop is just like everyone else. That's the problem. He wants to travel the world, do something amazing, something no one's ever seen before. For Stanley, life is TOO normal…until one morning when all that changes and Stanley Lambchop wakes up flat!
