Autism Family Support is proud to present the Sensory Play Scheme, a creative, supportive initiative tailored for autistic children and children with special needs. With generous support from the One Oldham Fund by Action Together, this free program ran from August 4 to October 20, offering a safe, engaging space to help children build their sensory processing skills.
The Sensory Play Scheme focused on activities designed to stimulate development and social skills. Highlights included:
These activities promote creativity, motor skills, and self-expression. Rhymes and singing sessions added language development and social interaction in a fun, welcoming setting.
Our sensory play hub provided a supportive and inclusive environment filled with high-quality materials—kinetic sand, rice, play foam, and more—to give children diverse sensory experiences. Specialized furniture, visual aids, and a child-friendly setup ensured an inviting space where each child could explore and grow.
The Sensory Play Scheme is more than a program—it’s a resource that supports families and helps reduce social isolation. Through creative play, children are building valuable skills for lifelong growth and independence.
We’re excited to continue welcoming special needs families into future sessions of the Sensory Play Scheme. Contact us today to learn more and get involved!
