Abstract	Children with disabilities, such as those with sensory processing differences or motor impairments, often have limited opportunities for community participation. Moreover, the degree to which caregivers perceive community spaces to be accessible and appropriate for their children can be a determining influence. This study evaluated caregiver perceptions of a "sensory friendly" event led by an urban university in partnership with a local children's museum. Caregivers completed post-event surveys over a 12-month period. A total of 10 surveys (29% response rate) were completed, and questions were combined into a priori categories of interest for comparison. Results indicate that caregivers perceived child participation as significantly more favorable than many other aspects and interactions occurring during the event. In addition, mobility supports were significantly more favorable than modified sensory activities. Findings suggest that positive perceptions of child engagement in a modified community environment can decrease barriers to participation, however more research is warranted. (As Provided).
