The Pennsylvania Supreme Court Celebrates the Expansion of Sensory-Friendly Courtrooms during Autism Acceptance Month.
Sensory rooms provide a quiet and calm space away from the hustle and bustle of the courthouse where anyone, especially those with sensory processing differences and autism, can find some solace and peace. The rooms may include a white noise, a projector, weighted blankets and vests, I-Pads with neurodiverse apps specifically for autistic individuals, and other items designed specifically for such spaces.
Pennsylvania is the first state in the nation to focus on identifying and supporting the needs of neurodiverse families within the court system, creating lasting change for those with an ASD coming through the court system.
