About Autism Gifted Hands

Autism Gifted Hands is a business enterprise working with children who have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in southeast London.

We work with ages 3-10 years old, Monday to Friday from 4-7pm after school. We do sensory play in order to reduce sensory overload.

We also run a three hour Sensory interventions workshop monthly on the last Saturday of each month from 1-4pm to support ASD children with strategies to learning. Some examples of methods we utilize are: Attention activity, Lego therapy, Painting, Sensory play, Barrier games, Sensory circuits, etc.

At Autism Gifted Hands we focus on sensory play activity to lessen the sensory overload. Sensory play is important for Autistic children to learn how their bodies work. By creating an appropriate sensory programme (messy play, squeeze, soft toys, attention, sensory circuit, sensory stories, etc.) You can ease their fears, confusion, and difficulty and provide long term change for Children with Autism. Sensory activities are those that stimulate the 5 senses – touch, smell, sight, taste, and sound – as well as our sense of balance.

About Autism GIFTED HANDS

Autism Spectrum

Our five senses are essential to our lives, helping us understand everything from the daily tasks of walking, talking, and eating to the more complex functions like creative and artistic projects, playing sports, and critical thinking. By stimulating the senses through what’s called Sensory Play or Sensory Activity, we can help develop our children’s creativity while also encouraging social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and linguistic development. Sensory play also helps strengthen the brain’s neural pathways and connections which leads to greater learning potential.

Children on the autism spectrum, however, often have difficulty with everyday sensory stimulation, and this inability to cope with the world around them can make day-to-day experiences feel overwhelming and make it difficult for them to learn and carry out basic daily functions.

Fortunately, there are many sensory activities for autistic children that can help change the way the brain reacts to touch, sound, sight, and movement. Being a part of sensory play is a fun way for kids on the autism spectrum to stimulate their brains so they can become better learners, gain a longer attention span, and learn how to communicate with their friends.
