Ferrybank Post Office in Ireland just launched ASD Hour — the first of its kind in the country — to create a calming, kid-friendly space for families with children on the autism spectrum. Spearheaded by local moms Jennifer and Melissa, who teamed up with the post office team, the initiative features a sensory wall, fidget toys, and a relaxed schedule every Tuesday and Wednesday from 3 to 4 p.m. Local officials praised the effort, highlighting the impact of community-driven inclusion. This small but powerful change proves how thoughtful design can transform everyday spaces for everyone.
