Hi everyone,
I am a coach, starting SEND sport sessions where a large area of the space will be a 'sensory zone'. For this, I am looking to purchase sensory equipment such as tents/ lights/ weighted items / fidget items ect but was wondering which items you find the most beneficial.
I would love to have some information about what is preferred, whether it be better have more lighting or weighted items or whether you'd say more option causes more issues?
Please share any and all experiences with me so that I can create the best possible session!

Hi, thank you for commenting.
The sessions will be for children aged 5-16 with a mixture of disabilities currently including Autism, ASD Traits, Global Development Delay and Down's syndrome.0 -
Thanks for clearing that up
I'm no specialist in this area maybe do some research on relative charity websites or a special needs health worker
I'm sure if you Google it you will find something
You may find some info in our parents and carers section or parents of disabled children
Hope other members can help you0
