Schaumburg Boomers to accommodate fans with autism

Submitted by Schaumburg Boomers

The Schaumburg Boomers baseball team will again partner with Northbrook-based Autism Home Support Services (AHSS) for the 2018 baseball season to support families and fans with autism.

The partnership will include the continuation of "quiet rooms" where parents can take children or other family members with sensory issues during a game. The quiet rooms will provide a calm, soothing place for anyone who could use a break from the volume of America's favorite pastime. Boomers front office staff will be on-site to help interested families and fans access the quiet rooms at any point during the games, all season long.

The Boomers also joined the KultureCity Sensory Inclusive Movement and will host a special Autism Awareness baseball game at 1 p.m. Sunday, May 27.
