social narrative
I am going to the Latino Center of the Midlands to hear Cuban jazz legend Paquito D’Rivera speak about his music. 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 down the street and walk up to the main entrance or use the street parking around the venue. There may be other people arriving at the same time as I do, who are excited to hear about the musician’s experience.
When I enter the Latino Center of the Midlands, I will see staff or volunteers. I can ask them questions about finding a quiet space, getting a sensory kit, or other questions I may have.
I know if I requested Audio Description, ASL or another access resource for the event I can ask the volunteers and staff for assistance.
There may be chatter and conversations from the other people in the room. I know I am free to be myself and do what I need to best experience the event.
I know if I become overwhelmed, I can ask someone to show me to a calming space or check out 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.
