Let Freedom Sing! offers an ADA-accessible viewing area for the Jack Daniel’s Broadway Stage for individuals using wheelchairs, with an ASL interpreter available in the same area on platforms located near Broadway and Second Avenue. This area will have limited companion seating, allowing one companion to accompany users, and there are a limited number of chairs available on a first-come, first-served basis. Riverfront Park and the Ascend Amphitheater offer designated ADA seating options. Canes used for mobility are permitted. ADA portable toilets will be located throughout the event site.
Let Freedom Sing! is introducing Sensory Bags and a Sensory Room by KultureCity, which works with venues and events to help make them Sensory Inclusive for individuals with sensory needs. Sensory Bags will be available at the Kulture City tent located at Walk of Fame Park and on Second Avenue South, where the Sensory Room will be located.
Some common diagnoses often associated with sensory processing impairment include Autism, ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, Down’s Syndrome, Parkinson’s, dementia, and traumatic brain injuries. Sensory Bags will include noise-canceling headphones for those sensitive to sound, strobe-reduction sunglasses to minimize visual discomfort caused by bright or flickering lights, fidget tools, which can help relieve anxiety, a visual cue card, which provides clear visual instructions or reminders, and a feeling thermometer card, a tool allowing individuals to express their emotions visually.
