We were so honored to be invited by Rodman for Kids and the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism to join this truly wonderful event hosted by the Boston Symphony Orchestra!

Today, our iCan Fly community had the joy of supporting over 30 families — 111 parents and children in total — to experience the sensory-friendly Holiday Hops at Symphony Hall.

This special concert created such a welcoming, accepting, and inclusive space for kids of all abilities. From the gentle lighting to the flexible seating and the warm smiles from BSO staff and musicians, every detail helped our families feel comfortable, understood, and celebrated.

And of course — the biggest highlight was when Santa came out to meet the kids, interact with them, and take photos together! The children’s excitement was truly priceless.

Events like this remind us why inclusion matters — when children feel safe to be themselves, their joy shines the brightest.

A heartfelt thank-you to all of our partners and to every family who joined us today. We are thrilled to continue bringing meaningful, accessible experiences to our community.
