Event to prepare children with sensory needs for healthcare appointments

Children with sensory needs or disabilities may find healthcare appointments challenging.

Faculty and students in two programs at Pittsburg State University are planning an event on Oct. 25 to help them prepare for those challenges.

The Psychology & Counseling program and the Therapeutic Recreation program will host Little Explorers, especially for families with children ages 0 to 12, in the Overman Student Center.

Parents may choose from one of two sessions: from 10 a.m. to noon, or from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

This interactive event will provide children the opportunity to explore simulated stations for haircuts, vision, hearing, doctor, and dentist visits in a supportive environment.

Space is limited, so registration is required. Register at pittstate.edu/explorers
