Help all kids be included
Proceeds will be used to build free resources for businesses and families to learn how to help neurodiverse children join into community events and spaces.
Join us on June 4th at the Chicago Dogs Stadium!
We are excited to be hosting our first IN-PERSON Sensory Stride at the Chicago Dogs Stadium, in Rosemont. Each registration includes a ticket to the baseball game, a t-shirt, a sensory passport, and a fidget!
We strive to bring education and resources to families and businesses to help everyone understand the simple changes that can help all kids join in. Help us continue to advance inclusion for children with invisible disabilities!

We have created eight stations where your kids can have fun discovering and exploring their senses through games and activities! These stations are accessible with the sensory passport that is included in the price of the Sensory Stride.
