Come join in all the fun and explore the accessible Discovery Museum during this evening event for families with members on the autism spectrum.

Your family can play, explore, experiment, and imagine together, while we are closed to the general public and headcount is limited. Dinner, including a gluten-free option, will be provided.

Discovery Museum is ADA-compliant and all exhibits are accessible, designed according to Universal Design principles to be both aesthetically pleasing and usable by the widest possible range of people, without regard to age or ability.

Special resources are always available including noise-reducing headphones, a Social Story Guide (available in eight languages), a sensory map to the Museum, and a designated “Take a Break” space. American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters may be requested during registration. Parking is always free and dinner, including a gluten-free option, is provided at all evening events.

All Especially for Me events are free to attend, but preregistration is required. Dates and registration links can be found online here. Registration generally opens up 4 to 6 weeks in advance of each event.

ASL interpretation may be available upon request; please indicate on the registration form if you would like interpretation at the event. Mask exemption requests must also be requested through the registration form, and with an email to Shilpa Kulkarni at [email protected].

Space is limited, and pre-registration is required.

Especially for Me is part of the museum’s Open Door Connections program to provide opportunities for those who face a variety of barriers---financial, developmental, or cultural---to experience the Museum.
