Sensory Inclusive The Okee Dokee Brothers

About the event
The Okee Dokee Brothers, aka Joe Mailander and Justin Lansing, grew up as friends right here in Denver, Colorado. Their music aims to inspire children and their parents to step outside and get creative. They believe this can motivate kids to gain a greater respect for the natural world, their communities, and themselves.
What makes these performances sensory-inclusive?
These performances are modified to create a welcoming and supportive environment for children and adults on the autism spectrum as well as individuals with other sensitivity issues or developmental disabilities. Performers and LTAC staff work together to ensure there are no startling noises or visually over-stimulating components. Our team keeps sound levels lower than normal and keeps the lights in the audience higher than normal, ensuring audience members can see each other. Audience members are free to come and go if need be (there is always a “quiet room” available) and are asked to wave hands rather than clapping.
