The Education Rights Counsel hosted a free sensory-friendly haunted house on Saturday at the University of Nebraska Omaha. Lauren Micek Vargas said Halloween is easy for many children and hard for those who struggle with sound, touch, and sensory overload. The nonprofit built the event to fill that gap in Omaha, and it hopes the night also draws new partners into the work.
KETV's account is short. It confirms a free event on the UNO campus, designed so more children could take part in Halloween. It does not describe the rooms, the crowd size, or a date for a repeat.
