8th Annual Sensory Inclusive Santa 2024

Our Annual Sensory Inclusive Santa event is beloved by the local community. In partnership with KultureCity, Madison Behavior Therapy /Wellstone will provide a quiet and inclusive environment for those with sensory sensitivities, to visit with Santa.

For children with special needs and their families, going to visit Santa at the mall can be completely overwhelming. That’s why we have created an environment where these families can enjoy a special meeting with Santa that they will never forget!

Each family registers for a “free ticket” to visit Santa, which reserves the family 5 minutes in the Living Room with Santa. During the visit only the family, Santa, a Registered Behavior Technician, and a professional photographer are present in the living room. This allows the child and his/her family to have a special experience with Santa without becoming overwhelmed by sensory stimuli. When the family reserves their ticket, they are reserving a specific time to see Santa, which keeps them from having to wait for a long period of time, until it is their turn.

In addition to receiving special time with Santa, each child in the family will receive a free gift from Santa (yes, siblings receive gifts too!) and professional family photos. Every year a professional photographer is present to capture the family’s special time with Santa. Many families that have children with special needs do not have professional family photos because it is too overwhelming for their child to complete a photo session. Our photographer will capture these moments with Santa, and each family will have access to their private gallery of images.

This will be our 7th year hosting Sensory Santa, which has been made possible by the generosity of the following community partners:
