Grand Ledge High School held its sensory friendly prom for its students at Hidden Creek Farms on Sunday.
Named "Prom 4 U" the event makes the high school dance experience more comfortable for students with special needs.
The event removed harsh lighting and provided headphones, sunglasses and a quiet room for those who need it.
Crystal Quintanilla-Howard says "Prom 4 U" is about creating a welcoming environment for all students.
