This Sunday morning (30) was unforgettable for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) cared for by the Santos Dumont Institute (ISD). They participated in an adapted show promoted by Circo Americano, which is on display in Natal. To provide an inclusive experience, the circus adjusted its presentation and reduced sound noise and the intensity of lighting inside the tent, which ensured greater sensory support for spectators.<\/span><\/p>\n

The show featured performances by clowns, contortionists, trapeze artists and the bullet man, who was launched from a cannon into the arena, drawing screams and gasps from the audience. In total, 15 children using the ISD, accompanied by their guardians, had the opportunity to enjoy the wonders of circus art.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of them was little Nicolas, just 4 years old. He went to the circus accompanied by his mother, nursing technician Ros\u00e2ngela Martins. \u201cThroughout the week, I talked to Nicollas about the circus, I explained to him that it would be a place with more people and a lot of information, I prepared him for this moment. At first, he was a little scared, but then he managed to enjoy the show\u201d, says Ros\u00e2ngela.<\/span><\/p>\n

This prior conversation is important to prepare autistic children for an unusual environment. As ISD's speech therapist preceptor, Luana Apr\u00edgio, explains, people with ASD present a pattern of behavioral rigidity, making events that are out of routine a challenge. \u201cThe predictability provided by parents or guardians helps children to be calmer and adapt better to the moment, which in this case was the circus show.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The professional also highlights the importance of initiatives such as the one carried out by the circus to ensure the socialization of this public. \u201cThese reserved moments, made with some adjustments, help people with disabilities feel more comfortable and have a better experience. However, it is important that this audience participates in any session if they feel comfortable and want to participate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The children and companions who went to the circus are residents of Maca\u00edba. They traveled in transport provided by the Santos Dumont Institute. Tickets were donated by Circo Americano, at no cost to those present.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The event not only celebrated diversity, but also highlighted the importance of creating spaces where all children can feel welcome and fully integrated. \u201cThe show was very important for my son. I hope there are other initiatives like this, so that he can enjoy it like any other child\u201d, said T\u00e2nia Dias, mother of little Ryan, also attended by ISD.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the show, the children left with radiant smiles, demonstrating not only the joy of the moment, but also the achievement of another step towards full inclusion in cultural and social activities.<\/span><\/p>\n
