Holiday Ideas for children with sensory challenges

Children with autism find it difficult to understand non-verbal communication, how to respond appropriately in social situations and have trouble developing, understanding and maintaining relationships with others. They may also have sensory overload, which means that they are extremely sensitive to smells, sights, sounds and textures. These children often don’t cope with holiday activities that other children find enjoyable.

However as the awareness surrounding autism continues to grow, there are many organisations providing special sensory-friendly holiday activities that cater for children with sensory needs.
