social narrative
I am going to the Creighton University Harper Center to learn the art of Origami with Dr. Sharon Ishii-Jordan. There may be traffic from the nearby street, which may be loud. I can wear headphones or earplugs to help with the noise.
I can park in the parking lot beside the building and walk up to the main entrance. There may be other people arriving at the same time as I do, who are excited to learn about Origami.
When I enter the Harper Center, I will see staff or volunteers. I can ask them questions about finding a quiet space, getting a sensory kit, or if I need help getting to the activity space.

The presentation space will have chairs that are on wheels and swivel in front of desks. I can grab a wobble seat if that would help me sit and listen to the presentation.
There may be chatter and conversation from the other people in the room who are also learning how to do origami. I know I am free to be myself and do what I need to do to best experience the event.
I know if I become overwhelmed, I can ask someone to show me to a sensory break space or checkout a sensory kit.
If I need access to a resource not listed in this sensory guide, I can contact ticketomaha@o-pa.org and they will make every effort to provide reasonable accommodation. If it is within the 2 weeks of the event, I can still request a specific service but there is no guarantee they will be able to provide it.
