The Iowa Cubs are proud to partner with presenting sponsors Autism Society of Iowa and ChildServe to host the first-ever Sensory Friendly Game at the ballpark on Sunday, June 9. The home game will begin at 1:08 p.m. versus the Toledo Mud Hens.
The 2024 Sensory Friendly Game will provide an environment designed for children, teens and adults with autism or sensory processing disorders in mind, so families who have a member with special healthcare needs can visit, play and enjoy the game. Special programming and activities are planned with modifications, including the mitigation of sounds and motions as much as possible, designated educational areas, directional signage and trained volunteers throughout the stadium.
Calming rooms will be available and staffed by ChildServe therapists to provide a safe space for those who may need a break from stimulus at the ballpark. Engaging activities will also be available for those who need to release energy to regulate their bodies, including the opportunity to run the bases after the game.
Please join us on Sunday, June 9 for this inaugural event!
