A perfect afternoon in the garden 😊Sensory activities can be so important for an autistic person, especially if you’re a sensory seeker like Tommy. They can help with self-regulation, recuing anxiety and overwhelm, especially after a stressful day. Sensory play stimulates the brain, and builds motor skills and coordination. It can help improve social and communication skills. And most importantly of all, they can be a lot of fun. Tommy’s happy hops, jumps and flaps make that clear to see ❤️ #au

"If someone has upset you you come to this garden and then it makes you happy again." This sensory garden is helping pupils living with autism and ADHD relieve stress at school. | BBC Yorkshire
