Become Sensory-Friendly trained!

33% Of People Experience Sensory Challenges.

Did you know that up to 33% of the population is more likely to experience sensory sensitivity or sensory overload? Children, adults and seniors alike often find events, locations and experiences too busy, too noisy and too bright.

They are your customers and clients. Your employees and team members. Your family and friends. Make your space more accessible for 1/3 of the population from what you learn in Sensory Friendly Training.

Sensory Sensitivity and Sensory Overload can be Experienced by Anyone.

Many disabilities, disorders and differences contribute to the increasing demand for sensory-friendly experiences at locations or events.

In fact, sensory sensitivity and sensory overload aren’t just experiences by disabled persons. They can be experienced by anyone, at any time.

Be part of the solution that makes more people comfortable when you become trained.

"I have single-sided deafness and often struggle with loud or crowded environments.

The Sensory Friendly 101 Training not only helped me better understand my own sensory experience and triggers, but will guide me in making my own art shows more accessible to others."

I hope more businesses use their sensory-friendly solutions so I can look forward to a day where I (and 33% of the population) will feel comfortable going to events and concerts with everyone else.

Sensory overload is overwhelming, but the solutions can be simple.

This mantra of simplicity drives solutions created by Sensory Friendly Solutions with founder and CEO, Christel Seeberger at the lead.

Working in health care for 30 years, Christel saw how sensory sensitivity and sensory overload caused people to feel overwhelmed, anxious and stressed in daily life.

People of all ages simply stopped living life when they could not find sensory-friendly experiences at work, in their community, or when they travelled.

With the disability of adult-onset hearing loss, Christel understands these problems personally; she also experiences sensory sensitivity and sensory overload.

Christel founded Sensory Friendly Solutions to make the world more-sensory-friendly.
