Sensory Considerations

• May be some noise
• May be some artificial lights
• May be some contact with others

Our classes run in a large hall where artificial and natural light are used. Music is played at quieter level, appropriate to each class. A sensory playground is located at our entrance – including swing sets and rotating/spinning equipment. Soft mats are included inside to create safe and comfortable seating spaces. Heating and air conditioning units are used to maintain a comfortable temperature. Inside our space we also have a “sensory station” with fidget and textured sensory play items.
