Hold a #hoodsupvolumedown event at your school or organisation with these easy steps: 

1) Publicise your event using our resources 

2) Consider the sensory factors in your space for the event: 

• Can you lower the light? Consider alternative light sources, or turn off any fluorescent lights.
• Can you reduce background noise (music, beeping cash registers, loud bells, electronics whirring)? 
• Can you reduce strong smells (ask people not to wear perfume or strongly scented deodorant on this day)?
• Can you provide a sensory kit with fidget spinners, tactile or weighted objects?  

3) Wear your #hoodsup hoodie 

You can buy an autism nz hoods up hoodie here, or wear a hoodie you already own!
