Event Highlight: Mighty Masks

It is almost time for school to start! This year may be more stressful for families due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools are requiring that students wear masks when they attend classes. This is especially challenging for young students and/or individuals who have sensory processing challenges. To help prepare students for this new school experience, GiGi’s Playhouse Indianapolis is hosting Mighty Masks!

Mighty Masks is a 1-hour class led by a local behavior therapist who works with young children. The class is for those who fall in the Early Learner (pre-K and Kindergarten) category who struggle with wearing masks. Mighty Masks has 2 main goals: that the participant will feel comfortable wearing masks around peers, and that participants will be able to demonstrate ability to remove & place mask independently. These goals will be met by reading a social story and participating in purposeful play while wearing a mask.

We have 1 more class happening on August 1st, and more dates could be added to the calendar if needed. Check out these pictures from our class on July 23rd and 28th!
