Studio Saturdays - dlr Libraries’ Monthly Workshops for Neurodiverse Children

Studio Saturday Logo

dlr Libraries’ monthly Studio Saturdays are tailored for neurodiverse children and their families. One adult guardian is required to attend with a child/children and can feel free to join in the fun.

dlr Libraries will also have an area set up with a selection of sensory toys and equipment. Should children need time to self-regulate, there will be space and time to do so.

Upcoming Studio Saturdays
November 2024

Sat 2 November

Active Kids Academy are delighted to bring our Active Lego Sessions to dlr LexIcon

Our Active Lego Sessions are designed to be inclusive and are open to all neurodiverse children and their families. Every child will be able work at their own pace and ability. Children will not be expected to sit for the duration of the session, they are free to explore all activities and rejoin the Lego tables at any stage.

We will have a FREE BUILDING section where children can choose from our random Lego selection and build whatever they want.

Our GUIDED BUILDING section is an area where a child can select one of our prompt cards which will help them with a building theme.

In the STRUCTURED BUILDING section, children can work together and move between the roles of builder, engineer and supplier to build Lego Sets. 

For the younger children we will have a small area with Duplo and a train set for them to explore, while children aged 11+ will have their own separate space to work.

If the children need a break they can avail of our obstacle course, fine motor skill activities or sensory zone, and rejoin the Lego area when they are ready.

Please note, this is not a drop off event and adult supervision is compulsory throughout each session. As there will be a large amount of small Lego pieces available, children must be supervised at all times. 

There will be five sessions throughout the day, each session must be booked separately through dlr Libraries Eventbrite
