As many children may enjoin the sights and sounds a puppetry play, those with autism spectrum disorder may not experience the common event in the same. Seeing that hurdle for those children, the Center for Puppetry Arts has adapted the play of “Click Clack Moo: Cows That Type” to a sensory-friendly performance along with its Create-A-Puppet workshop. Several alterations will be employed to create a comfortable setting for guests with ASD. They include theater lights dimmed down but not out, consistent sound levels and lower volume of show soundtrack, freedom for children to talk and leave their seat if necessary and permission to bring quiet, contained snacks and beverages.
