New Playground that Helps Autistic Kids with Sensory Play

A New Playground, just what the PT Ordered

As some schools are cutting the amount of recess time, other schools are

adding equipment to help children with their gross motor skills and coordination.


This Australian school is changing recess.

“It meets their sensory needs and creates body awareness, helps with coordination,
gross motor skills and also encourages communication development.
“It’s an outlet for them and they’re more settled when they come back inside.
“The kids love it.”
