ACHF Arts Access
Twin Cities Ballet hopes to increase access to and participation in the arts for people with disabilities, particularly individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Sensory Processing Disorders. TCB believes participation in a sensory-friendly show will have a positive impact on the physical, social, and emotional well-being of those with disabilities and their caretakers. Dr. Marizen Ramirez will lead the evaluation of audience participants, which will include a post-performance survey and two focus groups to assess satisfaction of audience participants; perceived impact on the physical, social and emotional well-being of those with disabilities and their caretakers; and commitment to involvement in future sensory-friendly opportunities offered by TCB. A process evaluation will also be conducted to ensure that benchmarks are achieved according to the project timeline. The number of attendees will be counted to measure our reach.
