Sensory Friendly Places and Events
As ausome parents, we understand the challenges of finding inclusive places and events where our children can feel safe. Here’s a list of-friendly locations and activities!
Please keep in mind that these places may not be available in every state.
We Rock The Spectrum
We Rock the Spectrum – Shorewood was founded to provide a place for children of all ability levels to play and grow together. As the only kid’s gym that offers an inclusive philosophy, we have found all children can benefit from our uniquely designed sensory equipment that is specifically designed to aid children with sensory processing disorders. However, in our experience, all children are able to benefit greatly from this equipment and by allowing children of all ability levels to play together they are able to learn a great deal from each other and become the best motivation for success on every level.
