We want to offer all participants including supporters the same opportunities to experience different sensory activities.
We will use a variety of objects and materials to stimulate the senses. We are aware that some participants will like to mouth objects, grasp or make a lot of noise. This is ok with us and we are not precious about our materials.We offer our resources in a structured and supported way. With focus and support we find participants can access our resources safely and positively.
We have cushion lap trays for participants who need them.
