Common Senses Events
Omaha Symphony Concert for Children with Autism (and their Families)
Join Maestra Deanna Tham and the Omaha Symphony on this interactive concert featuring music from Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 and Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite and much more. We’ll take turns exploring big, small, up, down, high, and low with our bodies and music, before choosing calm as the concert draws to a close. This program, developed specially to be inclusive of sensory needs, takes place in a relaxed environment with a variety of seating options and dance space.
Join us before the concert to explore the space and participate in preconcert activities.

The Living Room
This proof-of-concept project seeks to determine if affective and physiological regulation in individuals with autism can be promoted through dynamic adjustments in the ambient environment. In short, light, sound, smell, and other sensorial stimuli within a space are designed to adjust to accommodate end-user comfort and enjoyment.
