Currys are introducing autism friendly shopping hours across their Dublin stores this week.
The retailer confirmed that the shop would have designated autism friendly shopping in effect each Thursday from 4pm onwards. Shoppers can access ear defenders during these hours, while non verbal customers can use booklets to help make their shopping experience run more smoothly.
Additionally, screen displays will be darkened during the two hour period. The autism friendly hours will be introduced in stores such as Jervis, Liffey Valley, Blanchardstown, Swords Airside, and Carrickmines. There are 16 Currys stores nationwide, all of which will implement the new policy.
