April is Autism Acceptance Month
In honor of Autism Acceptance Month, the Office of Arts and Culture is proud to share a growing list of Sensory Friendly cultural arts experiences across the DFW Metroplex.
We believe the arts are for everybody and that acceptance is creating an ecosystem where everyone has access to the support they need, when they need it. And by everyone, we mean every unique individual! We work to create connections, empowering everyone in our community to thrive together.
Please check out some of the Sensory Friendly Arts Month Activities happening this month and throughout the year.
