Happy Fourth of July 🎆! We hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday!

Here are some tips for making the evening more enjoyable:

1. Bring sensory tools like noise-canceling headphones and sunglasses to help with the noise and flash of fireworks.
2. Practice calming exercises like deep breaths before and during fireworks.
3. Bring fidget toys and preferred items to help soothe and distract
4. Read a social story or talk about fireworks before, so it's not so shocking
5. Have fun! Showing you're having fun can help model that it's not scary!

Stop by the fair all day next Thursday, July 11th to see and support NDAC! We will be there all day with sensory kits to check out, and information about our services. 🎡🧡💙

As a bonus, NDAC will get $2 from every admission sold on July 11th. See you there!
