Advocacy for Sensory Friendly Spaces in the Community

Discover how to champion sensory-friendly spaces and foster greater community engagement! This course delves into the crucial need for inclusive environments, with a particular focus on accessible air travel.

Based on my 14-week doctoral capstone project, you'll explore the vital role of occupational therapy in advocating for accessibility and inclusion. We'll examine how to create sensory-friendly environments for non-visible disabilities, expanding opportunities for everyone.

Here's what you'll learn:

• The importance of community sensory spaces and why they matter.
• Strategies for achieving accessible air travel for individuals with sensory sensitivities.
• Real-world examples of community events that successfully promoted advocacy and raised awareness of non-visible disabilities.
• How adaptations and modifications can significantly improve accessibility at community leisure events and during air travel.

This course features engaging lectures, a comprehensive literature review, and valuable resources available for download to support your learning journey.

To gauge your understanding, a brief 4-question knowledge check is included at the end. The course is designed to be concise, taking approximately 30-45 minutes to complete.

I encourage you to reach out with any questions or comments! Let's work together to build more inclusive and accessible communities.
