"Three sports venues in Phoenix are now home to sensory rooms designed to provide children with developmental disabilities a peaceful space to escape the noise. Children and their families can also access Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapists, games, snacks, headphones and more.

Gabriela Salcido, founder and CEO of Roman Empire Agency, which set up the rooms, joined “Horizonte” to discuss the features of the sensory rooms and how they help soothe children who are experiencing sensory overload."

Join the fun at the City of Litchfield Park Touch-A-Truck!

Come join us on November 15th from 9:00AM-12:00PM in the parking lot of Litchfield Elementary School, located at 250 E Sagebrush St.
https://www.litchfieldpark.gov/1715/Touch---A---Truck

Touch-A-Truck is a FREE family-friendly event that offers children a hands-on opportunity to explore a variety of machinery up close and get the chance to meet people that protect and serve our community. We have kept all children in mind by adding a quiet sensory hour from 9:00-10:00AM. During the quiet sensory hour, attendees will be able to enjoy the event without horn honking or disruptive noises.

The vehicles in the event will include police and fire vehicles, construction trucks, utility trucks, and more!

This is also a great way for parents and adults to learn more about the city’s community safety and block watch programs.

We look forward to having your family join us!
