POOL FUN
Children with autism may feel safer and more confident being in environments they are familiar with. If your child/ren attend weekly swimming lessons at a particular swim centre then we suggest to take them there to have some fun in the pool.
Check out this free app Autism Swim to support you and your family around the water.
