Sensory-Friendly Minnesota, a movement by Fraser, aims to foster belonging by connecting individuals and businesses statewide, united by the belief that we are stronger when everyone belongs.
Individuals with autism, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and other emotional or behavioral challenges can become overwhelmed by loud noises, bright lights, strong smells, or crowded places. These sensory processing differences can make it hard, or even impossible for them to participate in certain events and activities.
We are partnering with cities and counties; national sports teams; travel, hospitality and attraction businesses; parks, recreation, and sports organizations; arts organizations; events, fairs, and walks; health, wellness, and medical centers; clubs and service organizations and more.
Help us achieve our goal of creating 10,000 Ways to Belong!
