The USDB Expanded Core Services Team hosted Sensory Learning Carnivals for students birth through age 7 at three Wasatch Front campus locations. These carnivals provided sensory stations for students to explore with support.
The carnivals, which included back-to-school and fall themes, featured multiple sensory activities and a lighted quiet sensory space. The events were designed for students with visual impairments or multiple impairments.
Scheduled sessions occurred at the following locations:
In Ogden, sessions were held on Monday, Sept. 14, 2026, for ages birth to 3 years from 12:30-2:30 and ages birth to 7 years from 3:30-6:00.
In Springville, sessions were held on Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026, for ages birth to 3 years from 12:30-2:30 and ages birth to 7 years from 3:30-6:00.
In Salt Lake, sessions were held on Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026, for ages birth to 3 years from 12:30-2:30 and ages birth to 7 years from 3:30-6:00.
The objectives of the carnivals included introducing students to community activities to help them predict and anticipate future interactions. The events also allowed parents to meet other families with visual impairments and incorporate expanded core learning through pre-teaching, teaching, and reflection.
