Sensory Sessions - dlr Libraries’ Monthly Workshops for Neurodiverse Children

Sensory Saturday

Contents

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.
