Sensory Inclusive Services
Sensory-Friendly Pediatric Urgent Care
Did you know that 1 in 6 individuals has a sensory need? This includes many children with autism spectrum disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anxiety. Everyday experiences such as loud noises, bright lights, unfamiliar smells, crowded spaces, or new environments can be overwhelming and even traumatic for these children.
When children with sensory challenges are sick or injured and need medical care, parents often face the difficult task of finding a healthcare provider that understands and accommodates their child’s needs.
That’s why Urgent Care for Children is proud to partner with KultureCity® to make all of our clinics sensory-inclusive. Through this partnership, our team receives annual training and is equipped with the tools and resources needed to provide compassionate, inclusive care for children with sensory needs. Our mission is to create a safe, welcoming, and supportive urgent care experience for every family. Every child deserves high-quality healthcare in an environment where they feel comfortable.
- Sensory bags
KultureCity® Sensory bags containing special KultureCity®VIP badges, feeling thermometer, fidget tools, and noise-canceling headphones are available for checkout (at no cost by leaving an ID) with our front desk team. - Quiet Areas
Several of our pediatric urgent care clinics feature designated quiet areas designed to support children with sensory needs. When you arrive, ask our front desk team about accessing this calming space to help make your child’s visit more comfortable. - Mobile Sensory Station
Each of our locations offers a mobile sensory station available for any child to use during their visit. These sensory-friendly tools help create a more positive and supportive urgent care experience.
Urgent Care for Children is proud to be the FIRST pediatric urgent care practice in the United States to earn the designation of being fully sensory-inclusive across all seven of our locations. For years, our experienced providers have cared for hundreds of children with sensory needs, offering compassionate medical treatment in a supportive environment. Parents consistently share their gratitude for having access to a pediatric urgent care that truly understands their child’s unique challenges and delivers high-quality care in a safe, welcoming, and accommodating atmosphere.
If your child needs to see a pediatrician after hours or during the weekend, please call your nearest Urgent Care for Children location or save your child’s spot in line.
In the event of a medical emergency, Urgent Care for Children recommends calling 911 or visiting your local emergency room. We are not able to treat acute traumas, medical emergencies or life-threatening illnesses.
