Lights will be dimmed, noise will be limited, wait times for food will be shorter and staff will have minimal contact with patrons. Patrons are also welcome to bring headphones, fidget objects or other sensory devices.
People dine at Prairie Grass Cafe on Sept. 22, 2020, in Northbrook, Illinois. The restaurant will begin to offer sensory-friendly dining hours in August 2023.
The restaurant will hold sensory-friendly dining hours for three Saturdays in August, meant to be a safe environment for people with autism, sensory input disorders, sensory sensitivities or disabilities. Chef Sarah Stegner prepares a salad in the kitchen at the Prairie Grass Cafe seen here at the restaurant in Northbrook on June 2, 2015.
Higdon spent time talking to communities in different states who have attended sensory-friendly hours at restaurants or who have organized their own. She learned about what worked or didn’t work, advising Stegner and the staff at Prairie Grass.“Dealing with anyone who is differently abled is really just taking their experience as what they say it is and saying, ‘Hey, I hear you, I might not know what it is like to experience life the way that you experience it.
