Sensory Friendly Vaccine Clinic sign 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.
