Quiet Santa is a volunteer-run event for children with autism or other special needs to have a private family visit with Santa. We started this program because we recognize that not all children with sensory issues can enjoy typical visits with Santa, which are usually in malls or other loud locations. We strive to keep our event low-key and customizable for each family.Quiet Santa is not affiliated with any nonprofit or business. We are simply volunteers hoping to provide kiddos and their families a really cool, really unique, sensory-friendly opportunity.
We are a 9 month program that works with individuals 18 and older that have a documented disability. Our program focuses on the areas of work, finances, transportation, relationships, multicultural awareness, solutions, safety, health, nutrition identity, etiquette, community, transition, and independence. We also go on tours in the community to learn about different jobs and opportunities around Madison.
