This family-friendly event allows children with special needs to experience the annual magic of the holidays in safe, controlled environment
During Sensitive Santa, families will have the opportunity to meet Santa prior to the town center opening for a quieter, more subdued experience, with the opportunity to support Autism Speaks. With each purchase of a photo with Santa, a portion/percentage of proceeds will be donated to support the mission of Autism Speaks’ important research and advocacy.
“The magic of the holiday season is meant for all, and at Northwood Mall, we are honored to once again provide a welcoming environment where every family feels included,” said Bob Schertz, Marketing Director at Northwoods Mall. “Sensitive Santa offers a special moment for families to experience the traditional winter celebrations in a calm, quiet environment.”
This family-friendly event allows children with special needs to experience the annual magic of the holidays in safe, controlled environment, featuring alternative seating options for children taking photos with Santa, as well as muted lights, quiet music, and reduced center traffic to help lessen sensory stimuli.
