FREMONT, Neb. (AP) — The Fremont school district’s Sensory Courtyard will remain open for a few hours a week over the summer, thanks to an agreement with an organization that helps people who have intellectual disabilities.

Sensory Courtyard was developed by Mary Robinson, a teacher of the blind and visually impaired. The 2,400-square-foot space at the district administration center has specialized areas designed to spark one or more of the five senses.

The district’s partnership with Mosaic in Northeast Nebraska lets the facility stay open six hours a week this summer. The arrangement helps Mosaic’s adult patients learn real-world social and work skills as they greet visitors and clean up.
