here are some things to keep in mind when planning a sensory- friendly bash. inviting
guests
. how many people are you inviting? how well do they know your
child
? you don?t want to overwhelm the
child
with new friends on their big day. successful sensory-sensitive parties where to
party
. while home birth - day parties are popular options, you may be look - ing for a venue. choose a location that keeps the
party
controlled without too many surprises that could upset your
child
. singing ?happy birthday?. the surprise of ev - eryone singing the happy tune may be too much at once. be sure to give your
child
plenty of warning before the song begins or opt out. talk to the
guests
. not everyone at the
party
may understand or have experience with
child
ren with sensory process - ing differences, so be sure to prepare
guests
for what to expect. no after-
party
! after the
party
bash, give your
child
time to unwind. while you may want to ask them about what they enjoyed the most, they may prefer to use that time to relax. 2015-16 cover kid: aileena g. 62 brparents.com | july 2016
