Join MODS as we celebrate Autism Awareness Day and learn about resources for various neurodiversities. MODS is open an hour early for sensory-friendly Museum exploration and activities followed by an IMAX film, Serengeti, at 12:30 p.m. To provide a more sensory-sensitive environment for individuals on the autism spectrum, the theater lights will be turned up and the sound will be lowered. All films will be presented in 2D. No trailers will be shown before the movie. Audience members are welcome to get up, sing, walk, dance and shout without worrying about complaints. Families may bring snacks from home, as well as blankets and other small items to be comfortable. Guests can also participate in a variety of sensory based activities throughout the Museum. Children will engage in social interactions and improve the processing, modulation and regulation of sensory input to increase participation in a natural environment. Don’t miss this special opportunity to experience South Florida’s award-winning attraction featuring 150,000 square feet of dynamic science exhibits, an outdoor science park, a live animal collection, a rotating schedule of science shows, learning labs, café, store and a grand atrium featuring the Great Gravity Clock, a 52-foot-tall kinetic energy sculpture; the largest clock in Florida. The showpiece of the museum since 1993, this unique timepiece is one of only three in the world. Sensory Friendly Sundays are sponsored by Fifth Third Bank and ABA Centers of Florida. Free for both members and non-members. To register, please visit mods.org/sensorysunday. For more information, visit mods.org or call (954) 467-MODS (6637).
