In a blog post published on Tuesday, Walmart announced its decision to bring back \u201csensory-friendly hours\u201d in all of its retail stores in the United States and Puerto Rico. The hours will begin this Friday, November 10, and will remain in effect indefinitely, with Walmart saying there is \u201cno planned end date.\u201d The company said the sensory sensitive hours run from 8:00am to 10:00am local time daily instead of only on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The post has a shared byline with a trio of executives. They include vice president of senior vice president and chief belonging officer Denise Malloy Deaderick, executive vice president of US store operations Cedric Clark, and vice president of retail brand experience Alvis Washington.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarlier this year, we took a step in making shopping in our stores more inclusive for those with sensory disabilities by taking measures to create a less stimulating environment for a couple hours each Saturday. During the back-to-school season, we changed the TV walls to a static image, turned off the radio and lowered the lights where possible,\u201d the execs wrote in today\u2019s announcement. \u201cThe feedback of the pilot program was overwhelmingly positive. These changes may have seemed small to some, but for others they transformed the shopping experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

The post includes a brief blurb from a customer, identified only as Andrea T, who expressed appreciation for the return of the sensory-friendly hours, saying in part \u201clittle things do make a difference\u201d in the experience when shopping in stores with their autistic child.<\/p>\n

If Denise Malloy\u2019s name sounds familiar, it should. At the end of July, I covered her blog post detailing how Walmart was \u201cembracing belonging\u201d by way of its Adaptive at Walmart initiative. The post coincided with the 33rd anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act officially being signed into law in July 1990 by then-president George H.W. Bush.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
