    Naming Opportunities – Sensory Arts Garden

    Els for Autism recognizes that individuals with autism may face sensory processing challenges. Nature offers children and adults with autism wonderful opportunities for adventure, exploration, and engagement. When individuals with autism connect with nature, they develop special interests in birds, animals, or plants, as well as have opportunities to enhance their social skills. Become part of this tranquil place, where visitors can engage with nature in their own way, on their own terms, and at their own pace.
