- Santa Rosa Plaza’s Caring Bunny™ on Sunday, March 26 from 9 to 11 a.m. will offer families that have children with special needs a subdued environment to participate in the Bunny Photo Experience. Caring Bunny, the largest program of its kind, has been developed by Simon and is guided by AbilityPath.org, a national online resource hub and special needs community. Over 90 Simon® properties will host the Caring Bunny this season. Autism Speaks provided promotional assistance. Many steps will be taken to reduce sensory triggers, creating a more comforting environment for children’s cherished visit with the Bunny. The subdued environment is likely to include:
- Turning off in-mall music and dimming the lights for the duration of the event.
- Eliminating queue lines through the use of a numbering system.
- Special activities during the ‘wait’ period to help the child understand what activities will occur during the visit.
- Pet Photos at Coddingtown Malland Santa Rosa Plaza are Sunday, April 9 from 6 to 8 p.m. at both centers for furry family members to capture photos with the Easter Bunny. Reserve your appointment in advance by visiting here for Coddingtown Mall and here with the Plaza.
