Custom Education Foundation and Gersh Academy are transforming Six Flags Great Adventure into a sensory-friendly environment for individuals on the autism spectrum.
People with autism often struggle with sensory overload and have a hard time processing too much touch, taste, sight and sound—which makes visiting an amusement park next to impossible. The goal of this event is to remove those obstacles so families with children on the spectrum can not only attend the park but really enjoy it!
This is the first time ever that an amusement park of the magnitude of Six Flags has been transformed into a sensory-friendly environment, and we excited to make this event happen.

About Custom Education Foundation
