Sensory Kits for Special Needs Visitors

About this Program

The Sensory Kits for Special Needs Visitors program is designed to make Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie more accessible and enjoyable for visitors with sensory sensitivities and other special needs. Each kit includes thoughtfully selected items—such as noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools, sunglasses, and visual communication aids—crafted to help visitors engage with the park’s offerings in a way that feels comfortable and inclusive. This program goes beyond providing equipment by also offering training for Park Rangers to ensure they can better understand and support the needs of all visitors. By fostering an inclusive environment, the Sensory Kits for Special Needs Visitors program enables every individual to enjoy the beauty, history, and educational experiences these parks have to offer.

Thank you For Funding this Program!

Thanks to your generosity, the Sensory Kits for Special Needs Visitors program is now fully funded! Your support ensures that Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie are welcoming spaces for all visitors. Because of you, sensory kits have been purchased and Park Rangers are receiving training so that individuals with special needs can fully engage with the parks.

Your contributions have created a more inclusive and enriching experience for families, friends, and individuals of all abilities. Together, we’re making these parks accessible to everyone—and we are deeply grateful for your role in bringing sensory-friendly resources and awareness to our community.
