Sensory Kits

Did you know that PRL offers sensory kits? Participants may request to borrow a kit during programs. 

The benefits of fidget toys can help calm a person's nerves, relieve stress and serve as a distraction in an overstimulating environment. The toy pulls the user away from any particular stressful thought or situation and provides a temporary form of relief. 

Here's a peek at one of our kits:

Headphones
Along with Sensory Kits, we can also provide noise canceling headphones to borrow during a program or event. 

The benefits of noise canceling for participants with sound sensory challenges is that the participant may be able to better handle loud or chaotic environments.

How to request use:
Both sensory kits and headphones are provided upon request in all adaptive & inclusive programs. To request use of either during the program, email [email protected]. In the email include the course/event name, date and participant's name. Requests must be received two business days prior to the start of the program.

Inclusive Programming

PRL offers inclusive programming in all we do. If an individual is interested in participating in a non-specified adaptive program, however, needs some type of accommodation to ensure a great experience, please let us know. 

Below is a link to an Accommodation Request Form. This form allows staff to gain more information, and be prepared to make the necessary accommodation in the program.

Accommodation Request Form

**Depending on the type of accommodation requested, this may take a few weeks to process. Please allow enough time for review and coordination.
