about Quiet santa
My dear parents of kids with Sensory Processing Disorders: Quiet Santa is back!! Please share this info with other parents who could use this.
One out of five kids here in Utah have sensory issues--autism, ADHD, so many more. These families never end up getting a picture with Santa because the kiddos just can't take all the stimulation: moving escalators, crowds, loud music, water features, long lines...it's just too hard.
Quiet Santa gives your kiddo--and your whole family--a chance to come in before Gateway Mall is open, color a picture, eat a candy cane, then see a Quiet Santa and Mrs. Claus who won't boom "HO HO HO!!!" and scare the scrap out of them. You get your picture with Santa, your kiddo has a nice time--it's wonderful!
We'll block out 10 minutes per family to give them a chance to feel ready for Santa. We did this last year, and it was the most beautiful thing I've witnessed. The service is FREE, you are welcome to take as many pictures as you like, and since the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum is hosting us, they're even giving out passes for the amazing new sensory-enrichment room at the children's museum!
We're holding sessions this Saturday, Sunday & Monday, December 20-22.
