Sensory friendly Santa is coming to town!

We’re excited to announce that our community partner Westfield Geelong, will again be offering Sensory Santa photography Sessions this Christmas.

For many children on the Autism Spectrum, sensory issues often make it difficult for them to tolerate loud noises, large crowds and bright lighting, preventing them from participating in the same activities as other children, including meeting Santa at Christmas.

This year however, families of children with Autism and other disabilities will be able to visit Santa at Westfield Geelong, in a sensory friendly environment that will be much quieter and less intimidating for them. The photography sessions will conducted outside of normal trading hours or at quiet times.

To further support families make their visit to Santa even more enjoyable, we have also created a social story to help prepare children for the new experience. Download a copy of the Visiting Santa Social Story.

Limited spaces available so booking is essential. Book online now!
