Play at Home
activity testing 2023.
Thank you for taking the time to test our new series of Play at Home activities.
We understand that raising a young person with additional needs comes with its own set of unique challenges. That’s why we love to create activities to be used at home to help nurture family relationships, that can be adapted to suit individual strengths and needs.
During the last 6 months we have spoken with families to find out what types of activities they would love to have available. Based on their feedback we have been developing a variety of fun, playful activities to support the different ways neurodiverse families want to play together.
