Sensory-Friendly Emergency Care and Lab Services: Enhancing Care for People with Disabilities

Emergency medical care can be overwhelming for anyone—but for individuals with autism, sensory sensitivities, or other developmental disabilities, it can be especially distressing.

In this webinar, staff from Shore Medical Center will share how they’ve transformed their emergency department and lab to be more inclusive and sensory-friendly for pediatric and adult patients. You’ll learn:

• Why and how they implemented these changes
• What sensory-friendly accommodations look like in practice
• The impact on patient experience and outcomes
• Training opportunities for EMTs and medical staff

Whether you're an individual, family member, or healthcare professional, join us to explore how small, meaningful changes can lead to more compassionate and accessible emergency care and lab services.
