The D-backs Pal Video follows Malachi, a boy with autism and his family as they enjoy a Major League Baseball game. Watch with your family to show your kiddos what to expect, talk about any concerns, and plan around any potential sensory sensitivities.
Prepare best by knowing when, where and how to go.
Sensory Scale uses 1 – 10 scoring, with 10 being maximum sensory input.
If you’re tired of sitting, check out The Sandlot play area near Section 332. Details and age / height limits can be found on the D-backs website.
The D-backs use flashing and strobe lighting on the scoreboard. Fans who are photosensitive should bring sunglasses or choose seats that do not face the scoreboard.
If your kiddo likes numbers and staying organized, they might have fun keeping score of the game. Visit Guest Relations for a paper scorecard and pencil.
Sensory bags – with headphones, fidgets, and other accommodations – are available at Guest Relations for checkout during a game.
Clear bags and small clutches are allowed at the stadium. Large coolers, backpacks, and purses are not.
The season starts in early April. Check back in March for discounts to less crowded, family-friendly games.
Use our step-by-step approach that breaks down your adventure into steps.
Assistive communication icons help you communicate what you need and how you feel.
