Our sensory fun day was a soothing hit!
We had so much fun hanging out and making glitter jars!
Our sensory bags were a lot of fun to make too!
Everyone that came learned about autism and how important it is to use different techniques to regulate our emotions even if you are not neurodivergent.
Everyone got to see first hand how calming the glitter jars and sensory bags were!
We all snacked on pre cut veggies, pizza and pre packaged snacks!
We talked about restrictive eating and why kids who are autistic sometimes will exclusively eat pre packaged foods or pre cut food. I was able to explain that its because its predictable food that is all shaped and taste the same every time.
We even were able to make up take home DIY kits with all the supplies needed for community members to make their own jars and bags at home!
It was a great way for some of the families to still be able to participate and be connected but in the own space and time.
This was such a fun and calming way to connect with the community!
