UMMA is pleased to participate, for the second year, in a program created for families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). “My Turn” was developed by the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum to implement accessible and inclusive programming, particularly for families affected by ASD.

On Sunday, July 9, UMMA will open exclusively for a sensory friendly program allowing families to enjoy art in a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Families will have access to special hands-on activities in the galleries that will help encourage exploration and discovery.

The Museum will offer sensory reducing accessories and a quiet area with tactile toys for families who need to step away from the activities for a bit. This event is recommended for ages 5-18, however all are welcome to participate.

"My Turn" programs are coordinated by the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum and take place on the second Sunday of the month throughout the year. For more information, please go to www.myturncommunity.org.
