Neurodivergent Family Night
March 26 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Join us for a free evening where children and caretakers are invited to play in a sensory-friendly, neuro-affirming environment! We encourage the whole family to attend, and therapists can join as well.
Neurodivergent Family Nights are held on the second Tuesday and fourth Thursday of each month from 5-7 pm (after we close to general admission).
On these nights, we dim the lights in the museum, turn off the sounds, and offer a limited capacity of 250 guests. Staff are happy and ready to assist with providing various materials, including noise-cancelling headphones, fidget toys, sunglasses, and weighted materials for your convenience.
*Registration is required and opens two weeks before each event.
Play Partners:
Sterling Autism Institute: Sterling Autism is a private group practice with locations in Newport Beach and Long Beach, comprising psychologists, therapists, and psychiatrists. Their team is dedicated to providing collaborative, neurodiversity-affirming, evidence-based care and assessment for autistic children, teens, and adults. They work with neurodivergent children, adolescents, and adults. Conditions such as autism and ADHD are examples of neurodiversity. Identifying these differences can help people better understand themselves, strengthen communication and relationships, and access helpful support and services.
Their services include diagnostic assessments, individual therapy for neurodivergent children and their siblings and parents, medication management, parent consultation and treatment planning, behavioral support and parent training, and groups.
Philharmonic Society Music Mobile: Arriving in a Music Mobile van full of instruments, Philharmonic Society docents introduce the symphony orchestra and musical concepts with an engaging 30-minute presentation and instrument petting zoo, allowing students to try out different instruments in this hands-on experience.
