Summer outings should be enjoyable for every family.

Earlier this month, Melanie Mills, Autism Services Director for Easterseals Midwest in St. Louis, joined FOX 2 to discuss sensory-friendly activities and accommodations available throughout the region.

During the interview, Melanie highlighted resources such as sensory-friendly movie screenings, sensory kits, calming rooms, and special programming designed to help children with autism and sensory needs participate more comfortably in community activities.
