Spectrum of Parenting - Sensory-Friendly Nutcracker!
This week on The Spectrum of Parenting, Faith sits down with Jen Sommers, Director of the Houston Ballet Academy, to explore the heartwarming mission behind the Ballet’s sensory-friendly performance of The Nutcracker. For many special-needs families, traditional holiday events can be overwhelming, but Houston Ballet is working to change that. Jen shares what inspired the inclusive production, how dancers and staff prepare for sensory-friendly modifications, and why accessibility in the arts matters.
