Autism friendly gymnastics in London

Sosky

I'd really like my boys, aged 4 and 5 to be able to participate in gymnastics. They both have autism, and my younger son in particular would definitely need a 1:1 support.
Does anyone know of any places in or around London that offer this? I've send a few enquiries but so far come up with nothing! I'd even be happy to pay for a private 1:1 coach, but I'd need someone who has access to a space with gymnastics equipment, and ideally this person would have some sort of training or background in supporting children with autism.
Any advice welcome!

Hi @sosky Thanks for posting about this. I don't have any personal recommendations, unfortunately, but I hope another member will.

Through having a look online, I found the following:

• SEND Gymnastics - Southwark Gymnastics Club
• Gymnastics for children with Special Educational Needs - Find Your Islington
  
• Disability Gymnastics - British Gymnastics
• Directory - National Autistic Society (I had a search for gymnastics in London, and there seemed to be a few results)
• Gymnastics for children with special needs - Camden Active
  
• Inclusion Gymnastics - Richmond Gymnastics Association
• Disabilities Gymnastics - Croydon School of Gymnastics
• KEEN London

Have you looked into any of those before?

Your local authority may also be able to provide you with some information on inclusive gymnastics sessions in your area.
