Open to all, the calm room is a great space to take from the sensory overload of the Expo show floor. By visiting this welcome calm room, an indiviual can reset their sensory system through hands-on calming activities, allowing them to return to the Expo rather than going home.
The First Aid Office is located on site and will be open during show hours.
The chemicals used in many products may make some people allergic and even ill. In order to make Abilities Expo a safe environment for all, we advise our attendees not to knowingly use any scented products that may affect other attendees. We thank you for helping us maintain a safe environment for all.
