Weddings should be joyful celebrations for everyone present, but for neurodivergent individuals—those with autism, ADHD, anxiety, or sensory sensitivities—the typical wedding environment can quickly become overwhelming. Bright lights flash, music thumps, schedules run tight, and social expectations mount. How can wedding planners create truly inclusive experiences?Master Certified Wedding Planner & Certified Educator,  Brianne Ackerland, joins CWP Society Vice President, Krisy Thomas, as she brings both professional expertise and personal insight to this vital conversation. With approximately 15-20% of the global population processing information atypically and diagnoses rising among younger generations, wedding professionals must adapt their approaches to serve all clients and guests effectively.Through practical examples and thoughtful solutions, Brianne  reveals how small adjustments make profound differences. From creating sensory kits with headphones and fidget tools to establishing quiet spaces at venues, coordinating with photographers about physical touch preferences, and providing step-by-step instructions rather than general directions—these modifications require minimal extra effort but transform the wedding experience for neurodivergent participants.The most powerful tool? Communication. Starting with onboarding questions about neurodivergent family members, understanding specific triggers, and coordinating with vendors ahead of time prevents day-of surprises. While there's no one-size-fits-all approach (what triggers one person might not affect another), preparation creates space for everyone to participate comfortably.Whether you're a wedding planner working with neurodivergent clients, a couple with neurodivergent loved ones, or simply committed to creating more accessible celebrations, this episode offers valuable insights into making weddings genuinely welcoming for all minds. After all, inclusion doesn't detract from a wedding's beauty—it enhances it.Ready to create more inclusive wedding experiences?

From Autism Delaware, Dan Getman, Director of Development, Kris Grant, Development Manager and Kenzie Walsh, Marketing and Communications Manager, discussed the statewide programming offered by Autism Delaware. With one in 36 kids receiving an Autism diagnosis, families need whole-life, holistic support and Autism Delaware offers help with education, jobs and social opportunities. They discussed their beginnings as a grassroots family group looking for support and ideas for navigating the systems with a child with autism. Today they offer programming statewide with multiple opportunities for families to socialize and support each other. They schedule bowling and skating events, as well as holiday parties for the clients and families. We talked about the numbers and how they have increased, rather through increase in incidence or in better reporting and we talked about adults who come to a diagnosis later in life. They talked about their job programming and the value of their clients on the job, they are looking for employers who need a reliable, dedicated employee. They also noted they need a lot of volunteers to run their events and there are opportunities across the state to get involved. We discussed the different messages of April, while it’s International Autism Awareness Month, in Delaware it’s Autism Acceptance and Inclusion Month; as Dan notes, everyone is aware of Autism, we need to increase acceptance! We discussed the 2025 Walk for Autism, this year a single walk on April 12th on the Monster Mile at Dover Speedway. There are three start times with the 9AM designated Sensory Friendly with no music or loudspeakers. It’s family friendly and offers space for kids who need quiet time. Autism Delaware's services are free, thanks in part to the walk. Walk-ups are welcome, but there are incentives to pre-register. Everyone participating gets a t-shirt. To register go to AutismDelaware.ORG

We had the opportunity to attend a sensory friendly performance of Disney's Broadway show Aladdin in Seattle and it was an amazing experience. The performance was absolutely incredible, and with having seen shows on both the Disney Dream and Wish cruise ships just a couple weeks before, our appreciation and admiration for the DCL show cast and crew is off the charts. But more importantly, it was great to see the Seattle Theater Group and Disney work together to provide a welcoming and safe space for audience members who many not feel comfortable in a regular show. Kudos to STG, Disney, the cast and crew, and everybody else involved in making this special event possible.Social story: https://www.stgpresents.org/images/Aladdin-Social-Story-English-Web.pdfCharacter guide: https://www.stgpresents.org/images/Aladdin-Character-Sheet-April-2024.pdfSensory guide: https://www.stgpresents.org/images/education/pdf/SensoryGuide-AladdinSensory2024.pdf----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

"Sensory-friendly environments focus on adjusting elements that might be overwhelming. It may include some or all of these adaptations: Reduced Noise: Lowering background music, eliminating beeping noises, and providing noise-canceling headphones. Softer Lighting: Dimming the lights, avoiding fluorescent overhead lights, and adding lamps for a warm glow. Calming Colors: Using muted and neutral colors on walls and decor. Reduced Visual Clutter: Minimizing distractions and keeping things organized. Designated Quiet Spaces: Offering quiet areas to decompress and regain composure. Sensory Tools: Providing weighted blankets, fidgets, or other tools for self-regulation. Auditory (Sound): Difficulty tolerating loud noises, background music, or multiple people talking. Visual (Sight): Sensitivity to bright lights, fluorescent lights, flashing lights, or busy patterns. Tactile (Touch): Dislike of certain textures, tags on clothing, or tight-fitting clothes. Olfactory (Smell): Aversion to specific scents or strong odors. Proprioceptive (Movement): Difficulty with balance, coordination, or a sense of body awareness. Interoceptive (Internal body sensations): Sensitivity to hunger, thirst, needing to use the bathroom, or body temperature." _What Does Sensory Friendly Mean? (getgoally.com). "An intimacy coordinator, sometimes called an intimacy director,[1] is a member of a film or television crew who ensures the well-being of actors and actresses who participate in sex scenes or other intimate scenes in theater, film and television production. Intimacy coordinators work closely with directors, movement directors, and choreographers to help plan out intimate scenes with the actors and other crew members.[2] The role of intimacy coordinator is not to be confused with that of an "intimacy choreographer", who specializes in the techniques of staging intimate scenes.[5]" -Wikipedia. “As a future sensory-friendly intimacy coach, I am for sensory-friendly mainstream pornography, sensory-friendly ethical pornography, sensory-friendly independent pornography, sensory-friendly feminist pornography, sensory-friendly sex-positive pornography, and sensory-friendly alternative pornography.” -Antonio Myers. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
