🚂 At All Aboard Club, we work hard to make our sessions as welcoming, calm, and accessible as possible for neurodiverse children 💙
Here are some of the ways we thoughtfully adapt our sessions to support different needs and sensory preferences:
🚅 Longer session times
Our sessions last 1.5 hours. This helps remove the pressure to arrive exactly at the start or leave right at the end. Whenever you arrive, there’s plenty of time to settle in and enjoy play at your own pace.
🧹 Gentle transitions to leaving
We invite children to help with tidying up at the end of the session. This gives them a clear signal that the session is finishing and supports a calmer, more predictable transition.
🔇 No background music or outside stimuli
We keep our space quiet and focused. There’s no background music and no unnecessary sensory input, helping children feel more regulated and comfortable.
🎥 Walk-through videos on our website
We know new places can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created walk-through videos of our sessions so children (and parents) can see the space and know what to expect before their first visit.
🛤 Smaller, separate track area
We have a quieter, smaller track set away from the main area. This can be used as a confidence-building space for new children or as a breakaway area if the main track feels overwhelming.
🎧 Ear defenders available
For children who are sensitive to sound, we provide ear defenders so they can enjoy the session more comfortably.
We’re always learning and adapting, and we’re proud to be building a space where every child can feel safe, supported, and excited to play 🚂💛
If you have any questions or suggestions, we’d love to hear from you!
