We could not be more thrilled to be creating history by making the World’s Fair Sensory Accessible for the first time. The World’s Fair has brought the world together every five years all over the globe, to celebrate innovation, share technology and encourage trade. It has brought us the Eiffel Tower, The Seattle Space Needle, and many other iconic buildings. The World’s Fair for 2020 was moved to 2021 due to COVID closures, and will be opening October 1, 2021. Located in the UAE, Dubai is an amazing city of rich culture, incredible innovation and warm hospitality.
We have been working with Expo 2020 Dubai since October 2020 and have helped to create Neurodiverse positive language, consult on Sensory Rooms, Sensory Tools and ways to make the experience more accessible to autistic and sensory sensitive individuals. We recently toured the Expo site and some of it’s Pavilions and visited the Sensory rooms with their awesome Sensory Pods! Many of the buildings are underway, and the main Pavilions labeled Opportunity, Sustainability and Mobility were already completed and an incredible experience to go through. We will be returning to Dubai several times as buildings are completed to create Sensory Ratings for all of the Pavilions at Expo 2020. Stay tuned here on our website as we create and upload Social Narratives and Sensory Ratings for all of the experiences at Expo Dubai 2020 closer to opening!
We hope that a Global Event such as the World’s Fair will show the world how important Sensory Accessibility is.
