Sensory Santa visits Elite Therapy Center
At Elite Therapy Center, we understand there are many children and families who would like to have their photos taken with Santa for a fun holiday experience. However, some places aren’t able to accommodate children with special needs, sensory disorders, or assistive equipment for disabilities. Sensory Santa visits our Waco and Temple clinics and provides a calm and low stimulus environment where kids can take their time, visit with Santa, and share a special holiday moment with Santa and their family.
