Sensory-Friendly Minnesota, led by Fraser, is a statewide initiative dedicated to creating 10,000 Ways to Belong. For those with sensory processing differences—such as sensitivity to loud noises, bright lights, or crowded spaces—participating in everyday events and activities can be challenging. These differences often impact individuals with autism, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and other conditions.

Organizations across Minnesota can join the movement by creating sensory-friendly spaces. Every step contributes to 10,000 Ways to Belong, making public areas more inclusive and welcoming for all. Together, we can ensure everyone has a place to thrive.
