ExplorABILITY is a twice-monthly play-based program offering children on the autism spectrum, ages two to ten, an opportunity to play in a safe setting, explore novel sensory equipment and materials, and work on social skills and building friendships. Social Skills Specialists with backgrounds in both ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) and IPG (Integrated Play Groups) are on hand to answer your questions, help your child with skills they're working on, and help facilitate social skills. There are no specific therapeutic goals, so no data taking - the main purpose of ExplorABILITY is to PLAY and HAVE FUN!
PLEASE NOTE: Because ExplorABILITY is so far without a sponsor for 2019, have shifted to a "Pay What You Can" admission model for this program. To that end, ExplorABILITY will operate on a donation basis - just pay what you can during your visits to ExplorABILITY to help us ensure that we can continue to offer every child a chance to play! Thank you for your support!
Discovery Play is a FREE, sensory-friendly program for children with special needs and their families and friends. Join us for open hands-on play throughout the museum on the fourth Tuesday of every month from 4pm-6pm. For more info, please email [email protected] or call 916-638-7225 x. 103.
