SWEETWATER, FLA. (WSVN) - A South Florida mall is hosting special holiday events for children with special needs.

Dolphin Mall announced that they will host a toned-down visit with Santa for children with autism and other special needs on Sunday, Dec. 9.

The lights and music for the event will be turned down to help create a calming environment for children with sensory issues.

The event will take place at the Santa’s Flight Academy holiday set, on the second floor of Ramblas.

This special event comes after the mall hosted a sign language certified Santa for children who are deaf and hearing-impaired, Tuesday morning.

During the visit from Santa, children had the chance to share their holiday wish lists in their own unique way.

The mall said parents interested in taking their children to the sensory-sensitive Santa event can pre-register online to expedite the process. For more information, click here.
