Our mission is to provide events and services specifically designed for the special needs community that are open to all who wish to participate.

Kate & Rob Chaney have been working on bringing this dream into reality for many years, but after some setbacks in 2020 (you know what global challenge we are referring to) they were finally able to put on a successful proof of concept Sensitive Santa event December 18th, 2022.

Rob has lot of experience putting on set photography events as he ran many Santa and Easter sets in the past in addition to all the photo booth events him and Kate do. Rob also experience planning and executing events in addition to he Masters of Business Psychology degree and leadership skills developed over the years from BSA and other organization.
While Rob brings the backend and organizational experience to make events successful, Kate brings the specialized training in behavioral analytics that helps tailor our events specially to the special needs community.

Why do we do our events differently?
Simple, many people have sensory challenges that make it hard to wait in line or go into large groups. We design our events so you can have an assigned time slot to spend with Santa and other sensory friendly activities to enjoy. On top of that, all our characters understand the unique needs of of the people we want to help and that helps make a better experience for everyone.

Help support the mission of Inspirational Experiences and make a donation!

Our mission is to provide events and services specifically designed for the special needs community that are open to all who wish to participate.

Right now we are planning 4 major sensory-sensitive events per year (Easter, Back to School, Fall/Thanksgiving/Halloween, and Christmas/Santa) in the San Antonio Texas area

With enough funding, we can expand to other areas (Austin and Houston are asking right now) and start offering smaller more personalized experiences such as archery and sports (Rob is a USA Archery level 2 instructor and considering starting a special program if there is enough interest) and adventures (think field trips to zoos, parks, water parks, landmarks, and other fun places)

Donations go towards the cost of current and future events. These events are not cheap to put on and without your help, we will not be able to provide FREE events to participants. Keep in mind on top of event costs we have administrative and operating costs such as insurance, processing fees, marketing cost, technology fees, and eventually, we would like to pay our staff.
