Cameron Indoor Stadium Becomes Sensory Inclusive

“Being at an event can be overloading to individuals with sensory issues,” said Leigh Fickling, director of Disability Management. “We recognize that guests may have different needs. We’re going to provide the tools to help people have the best possible experience.”


Sensory bags with noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools, verbal cue cards and weighted lap pads will be available starting this week in Cameron Indoor Stadium for individuals who may feel overwhelmed. Visitors will also have use of a dedicated sensory room that is designed to provide a quieter and more secure environment.

Cameron is the loudest arena I've ever visited, so this will be quite helpful.
