Senior Events in Middleton & Madison WI

Children affected by trauma such as homelessness and those with special needs such as autism spectrum disorders have different sensory needs for emotional support that helps them learn to manage behaviors. Our dream is to create a play space that allows children to be successful while ... being kids! Some of our plans:

• A large open space for running (crowded spaces are often a behavior trigger for children)
• High fencing and an appropriate climbing structure (children impacted by trauma or those on the autism spectrum often take bigger risks and climb higher)
• Sensory panels that welcome independent play when children are agitated
• A maze for children to walk through (this helps the brain to organize)
• Small structures where children can feel safe
• Specially designed pieces to work large muscle groups

By helping children at this critical point in their development, your gift will be helping the future of our community!
