Big Wheels, Barnyard Bunnies & Balloon Art: Bierman Autism Centers Unveils Coast-to-Coast Lineup of Sensory-Friendly Summer Events

This August, families from New Jersey to Indiana can ditch the noise of traditional fairs for experiences built with their children in mind. Bierman Autism Centers is rolling out a free series of end-of-summer bashes, barnyard parties, and touch-a-truck adventures, each crafted for children with autism ages 2–9 (siblings & friends welcome!) and packed with playful learning moments.

 

“Play is where progress begins,” said Dr. Chrissy Barosky, BCBA-D, Chief Clinical Officer. “By pairing low-sensory fun with our clinical expertise, we’re giving families spaces to connect and kids opportunities to practice skills that last long after the day is done.”

What Makes a “Bierman Built” Event Different?

  • Sensory-Aware Spaces: No blaring sirens or flashing lights; each venue includes quiet areas and wide-open layouts.
  • Learning Disguised as Fun: Every game, craft, or truck doubles as a natural-environment teaching moment for communication, turn-taking, and motor skills.
  • Family-First Support: Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Behavior Technicians are on-site to share caregiver tips and answer questions.

Whether you’re a long-time Bierman family or just testing the waters of autism-friendly outings, these events turn big experiences into kid-size care, creating progress and possibilities® one smile at a time.
