<strong>Finding activities that work for your autistic child shouldn't be stressful.</strong> Dover's clearest sensory-friendly option is Autism Delaware's recurring sensory skate sessions; local museums welcome families but don't publish sensory programs, so a little planning goes a long way. Here's what we verified and how to plan an outing that goes well.
Recurring sensory-friendly skate sessions that Autism Delaware hosts at Dover Skating Center (2201 S DuPont Hwy), with dimmed lights and reduced noise. Tickets are about $5 and must be bought in advance; check Autism Delaware's events calendar for the next date.
