Sensory play with tactile materials is a fun way to help young children practice fine motor skills, foster creativity, and explore the world through their senses. These experiences build nerve connections that help the brain develop through infancy and early childhood. Join Caring Strategies Director / licensed occupational therapist Diane Robichaux for a morning of garden-themed sensory play at the Reserve Branch in honor of this year's Summer Reading theme, "Plant a Seed, Read!"

We enjoyed the Autism Bash today! ๐Ÿ’™

Our insect/bug theme was a big hit and we even had some real bugs join in the fun at our table! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Children were able to sort and find bugs in various sensory bins and each received a take home goody bag.

We were also able to chat with families about the services we provide.
