Sensory Support Space is a fully equipped and self-contained mobile station, encompassing all the essential features found in traditional brick-and-mortar sensory rooms. Whether it’s outdoor events such as concerts, festivals, sporting events, or indoor gatherings like exhibitions and conferences, the S3: Sensory Support Space ensures that everyone can fully immerse themselves in the event experience.
A catalyst for community enrichment, Loud And Live harnesses the power of live events to foster meaningful change.

Her leadership has been instrumental in designating the rainbow infinity sign as the official symbol for Autism Acceptance Month in Miami-Dade County.
