**Initiative:** As a registered nurse, I have witnessed families being torn apart and caregivers experiencing significant burnout. As a mother of four children with special needs, I have noticed a lack of empathy. My father has advanced Parkinson’s disease. This situation has made the lack of understanding even more apparent. This deficiency is evident among caregivers and families caring for individuals with complex needs. It’s not a matter of a lack of caring; rather, it stems from a lack of understanding and knowledge.

To address this issue, I have developed a portable, fully immersive escape room experience designed to help caregivers “find their empathy” and understand life “through the eyes of the patient.” We use safe sensory tools to simulate different conditions. These include dementia, ADHD, autism, neuropathy, and arthritis. We also simulate visual impairments, hemiplegia, amputation, Parkinson’s, hearing loss, macular degeneration, and paralysis. We tailor our program to meet your specific needs. This experience is called “Escape Your Apathy.”

This initiative is ideal for new employee orientations, reorientations, and family sensitivity training. We also include a seminar and a Q&A session at the end of the day’s program. The proceeds from this initiative will help fund our initial nonprofit organization dedicated to special needs navigation.
