Sensory Sessions - dlr Libraries’ Monthly Workshops for Neurodiverse Children

Sensory Saturday

dlr Libraries’ monthly Sensory Sessions 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.

Join SENSEable Kids for these sessions, designed for neurodiverse young people.

The session is designed to provide a fun, supportive environment where the parent can follow the child’s lead in what order they want to do the activities. All of the materials are taste-safe and nut-free.
