TUCSON, Ariz. – Hughes FCU partnered with Friends of the Kirk-Bear Canyon Public Library and the Autism Society of Southern Arizona to unveil a new sensory program geared to the needs of neuro-diverse and Autistic children.
With its specialized play experiences, the expanded sensory program is the first of its kind within the Pima County Public Library system.
Hughes made donations to Friends of Kirk-Bear Canyon Public Library, a fundraising arm of the library that has received more than $117,000 from the credit union since 2018 to help underwrite the costs of a variety of literacy programs and supplies.
The library’s new sensory program is for infants and children up to five-years-old and features a variety of interactive opportunities that are soothing and encourage curiosity, problem-solving, and more. The sensory program also offers a special calming space with dim lighting, noise-canceling headphones, and calming activities, Hughes FCU explained.
“We are thrilled with the collaborative results of this new program and what it will bring to those seeking a welcoming and positive space for children with special sensory needs,” said Elisa Ross, Hughes Federal Credit Union vice president of marketing, sales and service.
