Sensory Friendly Vaccine Clinicsign up

In today’s podcast, Russ talks with Dr. Dave Traver and Dr. Dieter Bruno about the importance of understanding and inclusivity in the conversation surrounding COVID-19 vaccinations. On May 15 and June 12, Hope Technology School is partnering with the Bay Area Christian Church and Sequoia Hospital to provide COVID-19 vaccines for people 12+ who may require a more sensory-friendly environment.

This clinic was developed by medical professionals, special education teachers, and parents to provide a calm, safe, and inclusive atmosphere in which anyone who’d like to get vaccinated can do so free from barriers that might be present at a typical vaccination site.

This sensory-friendly environment includes:

• Short wait times
• Minimal transitions
• No crowds
• Visual aids
• Social stories
• Quiet areas

Go to bacc.cc/clinic to learn more and to sign up.
