                              Description

                              La Maison Théâtre welcomes young people aged 12 months to 17 years and their families, as well as numerous school and preschool groups. The theater presents a number of sensory-adapted performances, including those for people with ASD, sensory integration disorders, learning disabilities, anxiety disorders or who are simply uncomfortable with the usual conventions of a theater. Its auditorium is specially designed for the needs of children and teenagers. In addition, the venue offers a rest room equipped with dynamic sensory positioning cushions, weighted blankets, shells and comforting heavy plush toys, for those in need of a quiet place. Heavy plush and shells are also available in the diffusion room. An area with tents and obstacles is also available for those with too much energy to expend during performances. Wheelchair users with seats at the rear of the theater must use the access in the Cégep du Vieux Montréal. Wheelchair users with seats at the front of the theater go through the main entrance.
