Places to go

This is our page of parents tried and tested places to visit. Some allow a discount for AS/ASD children or their carers as long as you take along proof of your child's difficulties (a copy of their diagnosis letter or their DLA award letter are the easiest.) Others are activities specifically for special needs children.

Reflections is a multi-sensory project for disabled children and their carers that offers them leisure and play opportunities. Reflections awakens all the senses by using sounds, smells, colours and movements to stimulate or relax the mind and body to create a dream world. All Reflections users take complete control of their environment. Light and sound can be tuned so that any movement makes the room change colour. Drop-in sessions open to all on the 1st & 3rd Saturday each month, 10am - 3pm, costs £5 per child.
