Sensory Safari: Farm Fun for Neurodiverse Kids

Wakeman Town Farm

A gentle, sensory-friendly animal adventure around the farm designed especially for neurodiverse children ages 3–8

Come join us for a gentle, sensory-friendly animal adventure around the farm designed especially for neurodiverse children ages 3–8. During this 45 minute class, your farmer will have the opportunity to meet and interact with our animals—goats, alpacas, sheep, rabbits, chickens, and ducks. Running this class is Jewell Ailes who works in the public school system in an intensive resource room as a 1:1 for students with ASD and other special needs. She is trained to support neurodiverse learners, ensuring that each child’s individual needs are met. We’ll move at a relaxed pace with plenty of time to observe, touch (as comfortable), and engage with the animals in a calm, supportive environment.Please know this program requires that the farmer has an adult caregiver accompanying them to class. It can be a parent, paraprofessional, babysitter, grandparent or someone else who knows your farmer well that can help support them on the farm.Please no siblings tagging along as this class has a maximum head count of eight.This program will run rain or shine. Please wear closed toe shoes-no Crocs or Natives. Please reach out with any questions.
