It is our goal to be the most sensoryfriendly city in Michigan! Therefore, the Greater Lansing Convention & Visitors Bureau is collaborating with regional attractions to provide a supportive and welcoming environment for those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), developmental disabilities, sensory processing disorder, and other neurodiverse individuals and their families. Many attractions and hotels have undergone training to better meet the needs of our neurodiverse guests.
