The NBA’s Utah Jazz have partnered with Vivint Smart Home to open an in-arena sensory room for children with autism spectrum disorder and other intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The room, which opens at the Jazz’s Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City on Friday, will debut for Austin Awareness Night when the Jazz face off against the Memphis Grizzlies.
The sensory room features a spectrum of games and tools that help provide a sense of calm or stimulation, depending on each child’s individual needs. Among its stimulation tools include state-of-the-art multi-sensory stations, play therapy stations and activity panels.
