Benefits of Sensory Gardens for Autism
The benefits of sensory gardens for autism are numerous, offering their users a chance to explore the outdoors in a safe, controlled manner and engage all of their senses. In addition, being outside can be useful not only for physical health but has mental health benefits.
Another positive effect of shared sensory gardens for autism is that they allow individuals to explore new places and promote important social skills like communication and sharing space with others. It exposes them to potentially new or challenging tastes and textures, and, if they choose, they can play with ‘messy’ sensory things like sandpits.
Sensory Garden Ideas for Autism
A sensory garden for autism can look like anything, and the way the garden will be used depends on the individual user. For a full guide to designing sensory gardens for autism, check out our previous blog post.
Some useful sensory garden ideas for autism include:
• Making sure the space is multisensory – using not only visual and auditory items (such as wind chimes and mirrors) but growing certain plants can allow users to explore new smells and tastes as well.
• For autistic children, consider combining the sensory experience with play – our monkey climber range of outdoor toys is a great way to boost balance skills!
• Our collection of portable sensory equipment allows you to bring preferred or familiar products outside to help the space feel more comfortable!
