Live music experiences for adults with disabilities.
Sharing in the Groove’s mission is to spread the joy, connection, and belonging fostered in live music spaces. We facilitate in-venue concert experiences for adults (18+) with autism or intellectual and developmental disabilities through participant preparation, caregiver partnership, and in-venue support. This model fosters safe and positive concert experiences, increasing accessibility and inclusion for our participants.
We’re excited to pilot and refine our approach in the Summer 2026 in Denver!
How it works
PLAN
We meet up with participants and caregiver buddies the week of the show to get to know each other, discuss what to expect at the show, and understand what feels exciting and what support looks like (e.g., triggers and warning signs, step-away spaces, exit plans).
SUPPORT
The day-of-show experience is simple and predictable: meet up at the venue, enter together, get situated in our seats, use sensory supports and step-away breaks as needed during the show, and exit at the end of the night.
LEARN
After each show, we debrief with participants and caregivers to get feedback on what worked, what could be improved, and update our playbook so the experience gets better every time.
Participation
We are excited to pilot in Summer 2026 with the goal of growing over time!
Our experiences are crafted for adults 18+ with autism and/or intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Each participant is required to have a caregiver accompany them for the pilot so we can learn and refine our approach.
Concerts will be hosted in or around Denver, CO. We hope to expand to other cities!
