Sensory-friendly days out
A flexible plan with space for quieter moments.
Plan the quiet bits first
Look for a shaded spot, a quieter entrance or a time of day when places are less busy.
Bring comfort items
Headphones, a favourite toy and familiar snacks can make a new place feel manageable.
Keep it short
Plan a short outing with an easy exit. Ending on a good note makes the next trip easier.
