SEND Sensory Gym - Explore, Play, Thrive
A safe, friendly and supportive space for adults and young people with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) to explore movement, sensory play, and physical development in Colchester
Specialist Activity Support for Children and Young people with additional needs
Our SEND sensory gym is specifically designed for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including autism spectrum conditions, ADHD, learning disabilities, developmental delays, and sensory processing disorders. We provide a safe, calm, and autism-friendly environment where children with SEND can explore movement at their own pace.
