Sensory Friendly Public Safety Day Touch a Truck with Madison First Responders May 2, 2026

In collaboration with Linked https://linkedasp.com/

This free of charge community event will give neurodivergent individuals and their families the opportunity to explore emergency medical service vehicles, equipment, and meet responders in a calm and welcoming environment. Individuals will be able to see and touch real equipment and sit in vehicles, helping build familiarity with first responders and reduce worries in future emergency situations. To ensure a sensory-friendly environment, we will have staggered arrival times to help keep the experience calm, comfortable, and manageable for all families.
