A Relaxed Halloween Space

🎃 Autism Friendly Dungarvan – A Relaxed Halloween Space 👻

⛺️ We provided a relaxed space at the Autism Support Dungarvan Halloween Event yesterday, where four sensory sessions took place with Sense_sational Kids across four hours. These were tailored for smaller groups and different age categories, welcoming almost 60 children.

⏳️ A break between each session helped avoid crowds and queues, especially important with the rainy weather, and gave time to reset the sensory workstations, which were carefully planned out by Caoimhe, the facilitator. It helped everything run smoothly.

🤫 We also included a calm zone for anyone who needed downtime or just wanted to observe from a distance until they felt comfortable enough to join in.

🎧 With cozy tents, weighted blankets, soft beanbags, fidget tools, and ear defenders, it was the perfect place to take a breather and rejoin the event when ready.
