Going to a trade show or convention can be fun and exciting, but for many people, the environment can also be overwhelming. That’s why the Overland Park Convention Center recently installed a sensory room to help. The room opened Jan. 21. A sensory room usually is more quiet and has different lighting, along with various fidget activities that can help stem issues people have when their senses are overstimulated. People with autism, PTSD, attention deficit disorder, dementia and other conditions can experience this in places that are crowded, noisy and have bright lighting.
