Walmart stores across the U.S. now plan to lower the lights, turn off the radio and change their TV walls to a static image for daily “sensory-friendly hours,” the retailer announced recently. Walmart’s hours appear to be the biggest shopping program yet for people with sensory processing issues, which include autism, ADHD and PTSD. For now, their sensory-friendly hours will be 8-10 AM each day at all US and Puerto Rico stores.
