We understand that children on the autism spectrum may experience sensitivity to light, sound, or crowds. To help ensure every participant feels comfortable and supported, please note the following:   •    If your child is sensitive to noise or lights, we kindly ask that you bring any supportive items they may need, such as noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses, or comfort items.   •    We will do our best to maintain a calm and encouraging environment, but please prepare your child for the stage lighting and applause during performances.   • ONE PARENT MAY ACCOMPANY EACH CONTESTANT BACKSTAGE. ALL OTHER GUESTS MUST PUCHASE TICKETS AS THIS IS A FUNDRAISING EVENT. EACH TICKET SOLD SUPPORTS THERAPY SERVICES FOR AUTISTIC CHILDREN.
