Autism Society San Francisco Bay Area was delighted to help out at a recent pilot of an autism-friendly Nutcracker, at the dress rehearsal of Ballet San Jose's sumptuous and beautiful production, December 12, in cooperation with Autism Fun Bay Area, a nonprofit that sponsors performances where "all behaviors are welcome."
Through this pilot effort we hope to spawn a new holiday tradition where special needs families can engage in a cultural tradition without worrying about their kids' jumpiness, noises, or sensory issues. The families loved this experience, the kids and young adults were thrilled with the music and spectacle, and we can't wait to help bring this special event to a broader audience in 2015! Many thanks to Ballet San Jose and Autism Fun Bay Area for making this happen.
