Hello Jessica,
 
That sounds like a wonderful initiative! 
 
I’ve attached some ideas, including a breakdown of sensory-friendly activities by age group and recommended materials. Looking forward to hearing how your program goes.

Hi All!

 

We are looking to bring back a Sensory Hour Program, and I have no idea where to start! Our library had this program previously but it was more geared toward baby/toddler age, and I would like to expand the ages on that to include older neurodivergent children/young teens. Just wondering how this has worked for anyone, what sensory items you have, and how you market it?

 

I will take any and all advice.

 

Thank you!
