At The Glades, we are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment for all shoppers. We understand that individuals living with autism and sensory processing disorders (SEN) may face unique challenges during their shopping experiences. That’s why we are thrilled to introduce our latest initiative: Sensory Borrow Bags.
Designed to assist individuals with autism and sensory processing disorders, our Sensory Borrow Bags are available for loan from the Guest Service Lounge (located Upper Mall opposite Bunka).
These bags are provided free of charge and are intended to make shopping trips more manageable and enjoyable for individuals who may struggle with sensory stimuli in bustling environments.
The bags include ear defenders, fidget toys and sets of communication cards.
Our primary goal with the introduction of Sensory Borrow Bags is to empower adults and children with autism or sensory processing disorders to navigate The Glades with greater ease and confidence. By providing these resources, we hope to foster a more inclusive and welcoming environment where every individual feels valued and supported.
We believe that by implementing initiatives like Sensory Borrow Bags, we can make a positive difference in the lives of our visitors and contribute to building a more accessible and inclusive community. We are committed to continuously improving our services and facilities to meet the diverse needs of all individuals who choose to shop at The Glades.
