Pass Legislation for Sensory-Friendly Restrooms Nationwide

In public spaces such as schools, airports, shopping malls, and recreational facilities, individuals with sensory processing disorders, autism, and other neurodivergent conditions often face overwhelming environments that make it difficult for them to feel comfortable or safe. One of the most challenging issues is the lack of sensory-inclusive restrooms.

Standard bathrooms can be stressful, with harsh lighting, loud noises, or strong smells, which can trigger sensory overload for people with these conditions. This not only affects children and adults with sensory sensitivities, but also their families and caregivers who may struggle to find a safe and accommodating space for their loved ones.

The absence of sensory-friendly restrooms in public areas is a significant barrier to accessibility and inclusion for millions of people across the country.

We are calling for the implementation of sensory-inclusive bathrooms in all public spaces, including schools, airports, malls, museums, sports arenas, and other commonly visited locations. These restrooms would be designed to provide a calm and accommodating space for individuals with sensory sensitivities, offering features such as:

Adjustable lighting to reduce harsh glare
Soundproofing or noise-canceling elements to reduce background noise
Calming colors or designs to minimize overstimulation
Clear signage to help guide individuals to these specialized spaces
By making sensory-inclusive bathrooms a requirement in public facilities, we can ensure that all individuals, regardless of their sensory needs, can access safe and comfortable spaces in their communities. This is not just a matter of convenience—it is a matter of basic inclusion and accessibility for people who often face barriers to participating fully in society.

Let's make a change to ensure public spaces are truly accessible to everyone. Sign this petition to demand action now.
