🎨🌈 A creative day designed for comfort and calm

Re:PLAY at Adelaide Festival Centre supported by Autism SA has included a full day of relaxed workshops on Wednesday 15 April for children who experience sensory overwhelm.

With smaller groups, a quieter environment and flexible participation, kids can explore, build and create at their own pace using everyday materials.
