These flagship projects; the Therapeutic Garden, Recording Studio, and Outdoor Play Area with small therapeutic pets is being designed to adapt to the individual needs, communication styles, and strengths of each member who joins.
Therapeutic Garden
Purpose: A sensory‑rich outdoor classroom for regulation, exploration, and hands‑on learning.
Features: Raised planting beds, scent and texture stations, shaded calm corners, accessible paths, and gardening tools scaled for young children.
Member‑centered approach: Plant choices, activity stations, and routines will be tailored to individual sensory profiles, communication cues, and family goals.
Recording Studio
Recording Studio
Purpose: A safe, low‑pressure creative space where children can experiment with voice, music, storytelling, and sensory expression.
Features: Child‑friendly recording equipment, sound‑damped booths, music instruments, visual song boards, and guided lesson plans for improvisation and structured projects.
Member‑centered approach: Sessions and equipment settings will be customized by ability and comfort level; projects range from simple vocal games to collaborative recordings that celebrate each child’s voice.
Outdoor Play Area
Purpose: A multi‑sensory play and social hub that combines movement, nature play, and gentle animal‑assisted interaction to support empathy, regulation, and responsibility.
Features: Accessible play structures, loose‑parts exploration zones, quiet retreat spots, and a supervised pet area with small, calm animals suited for therapeutic encounters.
Member‑centered approach: Pet interactions, activity pacing, and safety supports will be individualized; staff will match experiences to each child’s cues and comfort levels.
