“We wish the Sensory Friendly Finder had been created 20 years ago! Travelling and shopping with our family, including our son with autism, was a constant challenge when our children were growing up. We never knew where we could go out as a family to eat. Would it be a noisy, crowded restaurant? Would our son be able to cope? Would we have to leave our meal half eaten? We wasted a lot of time and money over the years. Shopping was always a nightmare too; we couldn’t even go shoe shopping with our son. The Sensory Friendly Finder will help families like ours do things that other families take for granted every day. We are so proud of our son, who is now studying at university. But we truly wish there had been something like this to make our lives easier over the years”.

"It was a breath of fresh air to find Sensory Friendly Solutions. Times are changing and this company is forging the way! Our family is so thrilled to see this service available and to watch the sensory friendly network grow. It takes a great deal of strength and effort to show up every day in a world that does not accommodate for sensory needs. By putting supports in place, we can really change the landscape and opportunities significantly for many people and help move the world in a more inclusive direction. Sensory Friendly Solutions is addressing a big challenge and opportunity for a very large population in Canada and worldwide and we’re thankful for this service!"

“I had my office space become sensory-friendly last year and it has made a huge impact on my business. Since the space was done, I noticed a substantial increase in bookings, which I found overwhelming, unexpected, and completely welcome. My clients, who have been here before, some for years, began noticing décor or artwork that has been here the whole time because of the movement of items to help group them, or placed in another spot altogether. I hear feedback a lot from clients who think my space is "wonderful" or "lovely" or "welcoming" and I know the help I had, and the changes we made, are all the reason for it. Now moving forward, I know I am meeting more needs, some I was unaware of, for everyone in the public. This is very important to me because I work in the public service industry, and I am very thankful to Sensory Friendly Solutions for helping me achieve that! Thank you!”
